Tire Beads

[War-Jeeper]

I know a few folks on here who are/or have in the past Used some sort of RTV to seal up the beads of their tires. Now what i would like ot know is what RTV you used and where ya got it?

If you want something that'll hold damned near like a beadlock you need bead sealant from a CASE tractor shop... It's basically polyurethane in a caulking tube. Nasty shiat but it'll seal leaks and hold on tight.

You used it before?


Where is the Case tractor shop at?

There is one in Sunnyside but thats a bit of a drive for you... :haha:



Find a IH tractor dealership and you'll be fine. I have not used it on my own tires but I have on a buddies. Like i said its basically polyurethane so it'll seal and glue at the same time.

Probably like poo. If you are going to spend the time to do it get some stuff from a tractor supply store :awesomework:

We use the black stuff on our Baja and it works great... especially when all the wheels are bent to crap...

Dont you work at a Napa? The one in town has had that stuff on the shelf before... Then again, they have two tire shops half a block away.

does the bead sealer pretty much ruin the tire?

seemed to work pretty well. Know of a few that use it on their beads in the winter. I know it makes it a pain to dismount if needed

Only time they are coming off is when they get too worn out and need a new set so im not super worried about that:awesomework:
