Tires: Flat Tire, tubeless tire, flat tire


Question
I have a wheel barrel that has a tubeless tire on it. I overloaded it one day and all of the air came out of the tire. I've tired several times to put air back into the tire, but the air will not stay in. There is no hole in the tire, but the tire is so loose, it can create a seal to allow the tire to fill up. How can I get the air back into the tire?

Answer
Well, you've overloaded the tire to the point that the bead has broken.  Try putting a bunch of soap around the beaad (the inner circle of the tire were it touches the wheel) and hitting it with alot of air pressure.  You will probably not be able to inflate it with a hand pump.
