[QUOTE="Cadillacmak, post: 21833, member: 11338"] I have a few tire stories, so I thought others might also. Working at Penske in the late 90s, I was watching one of the other guys trying to bead a tire as I was working a separate machine. I noticed his PSI was way to high and backed off while telling him to stop, he didn't stop and the bead split sending that tire all the way to the roof (20foot I would guess). He was so lucky that no one got hurt! He was trying to mount a standard tire on a metric rim. [/QUOTE]
