Dose anyone know any easy way to mount tires on large bell wheels? I got a set of 25x12x12 bear klaws and I'm having a hard time setting the bead. I got the rears on fine but I'm having hard time with the fronts. I've tried to strap them and bounce them but nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok thanks. I'll try to get my cousin to try it out since he works on big rigs. If he can't get it then I guess I gotta go to the stealership and have them do it.

We used lots of dish soap around the tire and the rim to set the bead on my 14's. I don't know if dish soap is considered lube for tires, but thats what we used. Dish soap, binder strap, and lots of air. Did you take the guts out of the valve stim? I know we did that too. It was my first time and that worked pretty good. I put 9" wides on all 4 corners and the rear wheels were much wider than the fronts. Not sure about the width though. LOL!!

A CHEETAH would definitely do it, but I would be careful as an atv tire usually states not to exceed XX max psi when seating the beads. Cheetah's are pretty powerful and if not used correctly could ruin the ATV tire. I've used them quite a bit but mostly on bigger truck tires or wide wheels.

Be extremely careful with a the Cheetah. I watched a guy try to mount a John Deere Gator tire with one. Blew the tire to pieces. It sounded like someone set of a bomb next to use and he was about 20 feet away!!
