Mounting Tires
 
Anyone ever have a difficult time mounting the Good Year Eagle treaded track tires?

I had mine mounted through ERA and Peter said they had some problems with the tire sub on the installation.
It took almost 100 psi to set the bead!!?
Does that sound right?
I'm glad I didn't do it.

The first time Matt & I had some mounted it took right at 90 to 100 pounds to pop the bead mainly cause you don't use any of the soap as the tire could spin on the rim if they do. About a month ago I replaced one and the tire guy told me they didn't know what they were doing as he had mounted hundreds of race tires and that's actually what the Goodyears are. He said use Windex and they will mount like any other tire and that the Windex will evaporate and cause no problems. Hope this helps.
