- Installing the Worst Case of Squished Tires I’ve ever encountered
#topquad #build #project
I’ve received squished tires from many brands of tire; it has to do with the way the warehouse stores and packs them and it’s not necessarily a reflection of the brand. What techniques and tips do you guys have for installing smashed tires? Thank you for watching my video and hanging out, we will put the exhaust and everything else on next! You all ROOOCK!!!

Grill propane tank with a "trash torch" lightly keep the flame at a safe distance and gradually warm them up.
When you get them squished cut the bands loose right away then I find anything to put inside of the tires to stretch them out and let them sit for a couple days in warmth The tires weren't obviously made like that they were stored like that for a while you just have to reverse that process
please remane this video man fights small tire with fire... hahha
put in a tube, air up the tire with tube for a couple days then take the tire off and the tube out, tire should be good to go. It's a lot more steps but should work well
Put a ratchet strap around the tire to compress the Middle to squish the bead out
Michael when you are doing the starter fluid method with the tire make sure that you have constant air pressure blowing into the vent so that when it catches at one second it’ll seat the bead right away.
Taking the banshee so the guy can admire the finished product of his hard work is awesome. I work in oil and gas and have spent most of my time on the excavation/construction side of things, always love going back to job sites I have been part of building or driving on roads I took part in building, just something about admiring the end product of your blood, sweat and tears.
Yeah I actually wanted him to film the owner’s response!!! That would have been awesome
I just appreciate you showing the struggle and not sugar coating that it’s always easy. Respect ✊🏽
That and the meticulous aspect it really itches the ocd perfectionist scratch lol
When doing the ether trick, put the air chuck on and put something on the lever to keep giving it air. Makes it a little simpler. Take the valve core out as well. More flow makes it easier
It’s a good day when sabo uploads 💪
Thank you for saying that bro
I agree!!!😎💪🇺🇸
On the money
Yeah Boy!!!
facts....
Love how you don't cut out the issues. Really shows how everyone runs into issues.
Yeah I use the ratchet strap and ether method with my air chuck locked on blowing air before I start😂. But it’s like you said no single method/combo is the same on every tire. They are just generally a PITA!!! Great video as always
ah yes, the good old strap and pray method. Sketchy but very effective
Those bar end weights damp vibrations and help people not have to buy expensive floating bar setups, however nice they might be. 😉
Get a hands free air chuck (it clips on to the valve stem without having to hold it) and a Tire Bead Blaster (an small air tank with a pipe with a quick release valve). A lot safer, a little noisier, but I would say, more reliable and cool 👍. Especially if are going to be replacing a lot of tires.
+1 on the bead blaster / bead cheetah. Don't know if they're cost effective enough to warrant buying, but I've had to use them in the past to stretch car tyres onto wider, small diameter wheels (like ATV dimensions) and it works like magic
ether trick is way easier to use and makes more sense as far as money and uses go you can't start your bike with a blast of air or carry it on the trails
Man I miss having more Aftermarket parts availability! Even more than that, I Miss the quad market being as Big as it was to drive the market! So many great quads and aftermarket companies in the past! Big hats off to DG for sure!
I feel you there man; I'm doing my best to bring back the industry a bit!
The only brand new vehicle I ever bought was a 2003 Lakota and can tell you everything about the one you have is completely stock! I beat the hell out of that thing for years until I got a banshee. Also, prior to 01 I believe, the Lakota was a utility quad hence the heavy weight
Hell yea man! Yes, I think dirt wheels called it a hybrid between sport and utility. I may actually buy racks for this one after the series because it would make a great work quad or camera equipment carrier.
@@MichaelSabo There's also a hitch system available for them too, at least there was at one point 😂
The Lakota is an underrated bike
I agree with that
Yo Mike , the Bead Buster is a cool tool you should get 1 it operates off an impact wrench (I have it , worth the investment). Pro Tip: if you wanna save your rim’s from scratches you can put a glove 🧤on the prying end of the bar. Hope that helps 👍🏻
Dude I was DYINGGGG over the rear tires with the either 🤣🤣🤣 your videos are amazing on every level bro the ATV community would never be the same without you man 🤣🤣🤣🤟🏼🤟🏼
Mike your videos are so amazing and awesome to watch. I use to ride dirt bikes and quads over 15yrs ago and I admit I miss it so much. When I watch your videos riding or wrenching it brings me back to that time in my life. Thanks for making all these videos for us to enjoy!
Thanks for the video Mike
I'm always checking to see if you uploaded . Totally agree with taking them to the tire shop, this is one job that's not worth the time struggling.
Love your content !!
I’ve been waiting 2 weeks for this YESS THANKS MICHAEL this is what keeps me from losing my self when I have a bad day thank you a lot man means so much ❤️❤️
hey mike, little tip that helps seating the bead, wrap a ratchet strap around the center of the tire and crank it down. it forces the bead outward!
I feel your pain on mounting those tires. Sometimes they seat perfectly, then there is the dreaded 4+ hour job. Nothing like the sweet sound of the bead seating when you have been fighting with them for so long.
Mike I feel your pain on the tires brother, Like you said just take them to the tire shop unless you have your own equipment. I'd get so mad I would feel like setting my bike on fire and forgetting the whole thing. Nice perseverance on getting the job done thought. 👍👍👍
Its been a long time comeing since I've built a quad. Your a definite go to for great advice. 👍
Love to see another Sabo video! This quad is gonna be INSANE!
This is why I enjoy your videos you actually spend money on good parts and install them correctly ty ty
Great video Mike! I am patiently waiting for the rest of this awesome series! Also I wanted to add a little trick I learned from a friend on breaking the beads without your special bead breaking tool. Most everyone has a floor jack so I guess that might be an exception, but jacking up the front or rear of your pickup and sliding the edge of your crusty old tire with stubborn bead under your vehicle tire and letting down slowly has always worked for me when I run into a bad one. 👍
That's a great idea man! I have actually used that technique in the past!
Great video, every time I watch your videos it’s gives me motivation to finish my Honda trx 400ex built!! 👍💯
Always watching your videos makes me want to go fix something on my LTR!
Awesome job man.
dude the explosion efx had me rolling, the one when you were seating the tire scared the piss outta me!! LOL
Lmao; sorry about that Austin
Trucks looking good man
I hope everyone is having a good new year so far!
Brings back memories to when my dad would throw premix into a campfire. I used to play around with a Suzuki 300 quad that was pretty fun. Midsized are amazing!
Awesome video. Another trick I use for quads and skid steers, is to remove the valve core in the tire stem, and then push the female quick connect on the air hose straight onto the now hollow valve stem. This allows air in at a much faster rate and is great for seating tires. Just be ready to put your finger over the end of the stem once it's got air in it, until you can quickly screw the core back in.
Dam the tire struggles are real lol love when they inflat then just deflat in same shot lol good job bro
Such a heart breaker when that happens lol
I've changed my fair share of stubborn tires at home with tire spoons and ratchet straps and such like you did in this video. It took many years to finally hone in my skills to where it's actually very easy now. With all that said, here's the secret. I've found that the most important step is to make sure you take it to your local tire shop and let them do it.
Another banger bro. I really needed an atv video and here one is. Love what you do man.
This reminded me of when I worked in small semi truck repair shop where we didn't have a tire machine and had to change tired by hand.
I love the long videos when I’m not busy at work love to kill time watching sabo 🙌🏼
Little tip, when seating a bead spray some soapy water on the bead it will help, and show if it is leaking
It's kinda awesome you picked up on what the owner of the sandblasting shop said and decided to bring the Banshee along. That makes you good people.
Been waiting for another one of your videos to come out! Keep up the great work! Also building a blaster as your building yours!
Good luck with your Blaster build man!
Great to see this new video.👍
The trash can and air compressor firing are my favorite attributes you do alot of extra stuff that makes your videos great and different from others
Good video Mike. I have that same bead breaker. I welded all of the bolt together joints and it works 10 times better. Mine breaks down car and truck tires also. 👍🏼Might be a fun welding project for you to tackle.
28:28 is the hardest I've laughed from CZcams in awhile. Love it Sabo!
My trick for doing this at my dads shop was to get the tire as warm as I could. Either by setting it in the sun on nice days or in front of a heater. Also a rubber tipped air gun works way better then a tire inflator tool because it lets more air faster into the schrader valve opening. Those are the two addons I have. Thankfully I did more street bikes and dirt bikes than quads and those tires at least 10 years ago never came like these.
Love coming home and watching your videos man! Wish I could do some cool rebuilds but don’t have the time 😢
Love the tire tutorial lmfao classic I’ve done it a few times and for people who haven’t done it it’s not as easy as it looks
Did a blaster up in 2006...vito's 240 top end...hot rod crank...HMF pipe and silencer ...carb kit....(ran on race gas)....owned a dozen quads (200cc to 1000cc) and that one is the one I wish i still had...it was super light ...crazy fast...and very easy to ride all day...
added plus was ...it was bullet proof, ultra reliable...can't wait to see what you do to this one...
From my igloo on the mountain in alberta Canada 🇨🇦 D.
OMG 😂this video had me LMFAO 😂great job mike, I’ve been riding quads lil over 20 years and I’ve done this 1 time and I said to myself never again would I do it. This last summer I got new front and rear paddles for my YFZ the shop I use by my house that knows me and my family he only charged me 40$ bucks to dismount the old tires and mount up all the new sand tires all up..
Mike's stuff is the cleanest out there.. just crisp and clean as hell .. all hos videos are top notch.. its upsetting he dosnt do the funny skits no more .. no cap I really tuned in for those just as much. But I n know how much extra time they take to film.. I bet it's days of extra work to edit and film those.. but I mis them..
That tire catchin fire was awesome love what you do to get us content bro
That’s takin one for the team lol
Your uploads actally make it interesting to learn
It’s funny this showed up in my feed, I just did a similar video, but I didn’t cover all the struggles! 😂 took 3 guys about 45 minutes to get two rear tires, and they were actually round!! 😅 but damn them 6ply tires beads don’t stretch for nothing!! I subscribed to you! This video was awesome! Excited for that top quad! My first four wheeler was a 2001 Polaris trailblazer! Lasted a lot of years and uncountable miles!
Im glad im not the only one that gets his butt kicked by tire changes!🤣
Great video as always! Thank you!
The ether method works best when you are putting air through the valve stem at the same time. It helps to mix the ether, and helps keep the tire from coming right back off the bead.
Yes! I was eating for a vid buddy! Thanks man another banger!
Man I never laughed so hard watching the ether fails. After doing my raptor with squished tires I said never again, and switched it over to deadlocks for wheels. Much easier to install tires on the bead lock wheels. When my Polaris needed new tires I took the wheels to the tire shop and had them do it. They were heavy duty 6 ply tires that I would have never gotten to seat. Great Video!
fire video keep up the good work 🔥
Thank you man!
I need to rebuild mine one of these days when I bought it like 4 years back I did a half-ass rebuild just to get it running and riding I need to go all out this time around🤘
I loved my Lakota sport, $300 dollars non running, cleaned the carb and beat it to death for several years and never skipped a beat. Great for cruising the woods. Heavy but was a lot of fun. I regret selling that thing. Probably still running today.
Hey, man! Long time viewer here (in my mind, at least - viewer since the voodoo banshee!) I have a 98 Blaster that I am working with right now. I bought some tires off Amazon and they arrived just as smooshed! My tip for the next set - 20oz pop bottles! Take the 20ozers and stuff them between the beads to stretch the tires back out. Leave the bottles in them and let them sit somewhere warm to expand for a few days to a week - should be "normal" dimensions after a few days. I used four per tire and they seemed to work out good like that. My 40 cent fix for ya!
PS - I am STOKED to see you working on a blaster! It's great to have your work as a reference. I am learning much from you, sir! Thanks for your time editing and sharing! Looking forward to some blaster wheelies! Enjoy and be safe!
awesome video and an excellent display of why I refuse to mount tires lol. I will say that I found a company named No-Mar who makes a really good manual tire mounting machine that is at a fair price. Keep up the great work and banger vids lil bro!!!!
I'm going to check that out! Thank you for the love on my video and for the tip man!
Great video! Tires were hilarious haha paint those hubs for the blaster same as the frame
Good Job on the tires Brother!!! As far as the show off with the quads …, I’m going to go with the Blast from the Past!!! Take care Brother 🤙
You're videos and whole channel just so sick 👏
Thank you again for entertaining me for 40 minutes ❤
I'm from the Poconos, I went to Pleasant Valley In Brodheadsville. its about 20 miles from Stroudsburg. Sweet Mike!
I didn't know the ether trick until I watched the Raptor 700 rebuild lol that series made me a fan of your channel.
i change all my own tires, and ive done a lot because i buy and sell quads and motorcycles, so i do a lot of z rated motorcycle tires, i have no idea why but, i "ALWAYS" struggle wiith quad tires. its gotta be the small diameter plus width that makes them so difficult. i definately feel your pain, im glad you included the struggle, otherwise i might have thought a lot less of myself🤣🤣
bro, I never rode a quad or dirt bike in my life. I'm a city boy. But I enjoy the hell out of your content!!
Mike, my name is Tim, every time I watch one of your video's, I learn something. NOW I have a chance to repay you. I have developed a method to push the beads on easily, no sweat, and every time. My co-workers tell me I should patent my idea...maybe I should...but that sounds like a lot of money (patent lawyers). I use a hydraulic press, but practically no pressure. I work for the USAF in Alaska, civil engineer squadron. We maintain about 20 zero-turn Kubota lawn mowers and RV900 trucksters, among other stuff. I change the tires. Our tires come smashed flat also. I have tried ether, air cannons, straps, etc. I put inner tubes in, set in the sun, used heat from Hotsey pressure washer also. Nothing reliable. I got fed-up a couple years ago, and decided to SOLVE THIS PROBLEM...it was making me a fool. So I built a cradle out of 1 inch square tube steel (way overbuilt), about 12 inch high, and 20 in wide. It has to be at least big enough for the bare wheel to fit down inside it, laying on it's side. So I made 2 hoops about 20 inch around (this depends on the height of your wheels), and spaced them about 12 (wheel width) inch high. I mount the tire on the wheel. I lay the cradle flat on the 20 inch hoop side on top of the 2 I-beams of the press. I have to move the I-beams down pretty far to have enough room to set the tire/wheel on top of the cradle on it's side. Then I press the wheel down inside the cradle, and it easily and slowly press's the top bead on the rim by using the cradle to push up on the bottom bead, and the bottom bead pushes all the way up to the inner side of the other bead (actually the cradle doesn't move, the wheel moves down, but it's easier to visualize this way). Each wheel usually has the "drop center" offset to one side, this is the side I have up top, and gets pressed on. Then I flip the wheel, and press it the other way, the one we just pressed on, will stay snapped on. Usually we don't have to press very far until the other tire bead makes contact with the inner part of the wheel, as it is cone shaped outward and grows in diameter as it gets closer to the other bead of the wheel. Once it lightly touch's the cone, we put air in it, and the tire slides up to the second bead, and snaps on. Depending on the depth of the wheel, the ram might not have enough stroke to go all the way down (the 12 inch part), so I have a couple of 3 inch spacers I stack on the wheel where the lug nuts would go. It takes very little pressure to push the wheel down, but a hydraulic press makes it so easy and safe. The throat of the press needs to be big enough to fit the tire size, like for a 30 inch tall tire, would need 30 inch throat
across press. Ours is a 100 ton 4 foot across press...overkill I know. I hope you see this. I'm an old dude, no smart phone, no instagram, just a flip phone. If you need more info, don't hesitate to call me, 907 317 4625.
I think Noahb is right. Anytime we did the ether trick we had air going in the tire at the same time. Great videos man! Keep up the good work
Am I the only one that hits the like button before the video starts!!?? Just because we know it’s going to be cool!!😎💪🇺🇸
You have to have the air chuck on the tire and be actively pumping air into the tire for the starting fluid trick to work properly. We do it all the time with rock crawler tires and semi truck tires even if you can get the bead to seat with out air going in at the same time it will suck back because the fire will consume all the oxygen in the tire and deflate
Right but what he was saying is at his buddies shop he has the air cheater chuck. It clips onto the valve stem and puts out as much air pressure as the compressor can produce. Instead of the standard style when u push the button, it's still regulated. He would need that attachment matt has for the sudden massive burst of air. Anything less is useless I've been there when I used to change car tires for a shop.
@@dennisbrooks186 never had to use that clip on chuck all the Milton air chucks will do the job even the one he had that looked like the blue point one you can Throw a zip tie on the handle and keep it flowing once it’s pushed on and you angle it down slightly it will stay on the valve stem I literally do this 10-15 times a month
Hell yea sabo. Just got home from work and cracked open a ice cold brewski and then I see you upload. Couldn’t have clicked any faster
Michael when im mounting an atv tire i have a jug of tire slick and i will try to get one side of the bead to semi seat first then i wil use a locking open chuck and lean the rim against an object and push on it till the other bead takes . once it does i pull the locking chuck of and already have the shrader valve in the stemworks 98% of the time for me
Great video, I’ll continue to take my tires to the shop after seeing this 👍
In the future, put 50:50 dish washing liquid and water mix on the bead prior to the gas trick. The soap will allow you to slip it on the rim much more easily and when you gas trick it too. I use a bbq brush to apply it on the tire bead and a baby bottle to hold the mix.
Ya know what, the bead popping on was karma for the tire explosion edit. Gave me a good jump with earbuds in! Lmao
Love the vids always hyped for the next upload
Enjoy the video as always! I love I can watch some one else work on there quads when I don't want to or have time to work mine. I'm with you on the load performance exhast. By the db killers on ebay for that pipe. Take a measurement of id and order real cheap. I make my own.
Been there and done that on the kenda tires. They must strap them for shipment when still soft out of the mold.
Can’t wait for the tri-z video tomorrow.
You made my night that much better by uploading
I got a new set of tires and I used the bucket method and it actually worked pretty good
Sometimes a ratchet strap around the outside helps put consistent pressure along the bead but you got it 💪
NVM I spoke to soon 😅
I feel the struggle! Ive done it several times before.. its a pain in the arse!
Just dont trust them ratchet Strauss-Kahn too much, I was once doing it exactly like you in the video, and when I got it to start build pressure the ratchet snapped and the dam thing hit me in the ankle.. I was hopping around for a few days! Lol I see you sat there so chill whilst filling the tire with air. Haha nice one tho mike! You did it! Lol
I work at a shop that regularly mounts atv/utv tires, and when we get squished tires like that we put 3-4 2x2 pieces of wood cut to a few inches (idk? 6”?🤷🏾♂️) and spread the tires for at least a few hours before we mount them. Works like a dream everytime. If you don’t want to use 2x2’s, find some nice robust sticks and cut em to length
put spacers between the beads and put them in the sun. or some way to warm them up. on most car tires I use aerosol cans standing upright between the beads. let them shape up. then mount them and it will be much easier than wrestling with it. took buddy 6 hours. 3 hours of stretch time and one hour of wrestling. still saves time.
Can't wait too see the blaster build love the vids mikeee❤❤❤
Letsss gooo. Great day for Michael Sabo video. Thanks great videos man. Love these videos and make my day. Also if you ever do bigger mods to the Lakota a 400ex carb is a great swap for them. It’s a great upgrade and noticeable difference
Thank you for the love on my videos man! I read on forums that the 400 carb kicks ass on these things; thanks for the tip! 🤘
@@MichaelSaboyeah love the Mojave’s and Lakota but finding parts is the worst
Michael great video keep on coming
You got me pretty good at 34:06 lol
You can turn that muffler into a Supertrapp. All you need to do is get a 4 inch disc kit and end cap then drill and tap the end. I`ve put them on a few DG mufflers to tone them down.
my buddy installed tires on forklifts . here is a good tip for receiving squashed tires and opening them back up . find any size innertube that will fit inside the unmounted squashed new tires or old . inflate tube to spread the tire outwards as much as you can .put out in sun unless its winter. put somewhere warm in winter like next to your woodburner. he said it may take up to 24 hours.
If I may make a recommendation on the tire expansion trick, try to find and use starting fluid that doesn’t contain oil. As a kid I’ve seen my grandad do this with tractor tires all the way down to rotto tiller tires, and since then I’ve used several different highly flammable substances to do this. From xylene, methanol to acetylene etc. Id also recommend taking the air hose off and the valve core out to any viewers watching. Because I’ve seen some use to much of a given substance and the tire blows off the rim because the air had no where to go!
Thank you for the tips man! I've heard of tires being blown off the rim because there's no relief!
use innertubes to pre stretch the tires out for a while, then tires will hold a better shape, and warm them up
The easiest way to handle squished tires is to inflate tubes in them to stretch the tire and set them where they will get direct sunlight for a few days (heat/cool cycles) and when you are ready to mount them to the wheels, deflate & remove the tube and mount. The tires will retain that inflated memory long enough to not have to fight it.
It's what we did back when the popular thing was to mount 175/70-14's on wide wire spoke wheels. We kept a set or three in the shop with the tubes inflated so that we had those tires ready to mount when customers came in for them.
the tire explosion when filling with air made me jump in my seat lmfao
Gluing the grip! LOL
Jim Thorpe is one of my favorite spots to go near Pocono rafting. Awesome spot
A little compressed air blown into the grip can work wonders helping you get them off. Bonus to that is they usually come off intact with that method.
