was trying to pump it with a footpump but dont think its any good think i need to go to a petrol garage and use there compressor

[sanchezz_182]

It does help to have some kinda lube on the rim, iv even used engine oil before Also with some tyres you need alot of pressure 50psi+

Tutton, its a well know fact that schanchezz doesn't have a clue. So nur nur back doubled.

OP you need volume of air, not pressure, to bead a tyre, just take it to quickfit and ask them to blow it up.

WD40 will help it seal.
There are things you can try if high volume airline isn't available.
If you have a ratchet strap put it round the circumference thus pressing the tyre onto the rim.
A more spectacular one is a squirt of lighter fuel inside the tyre.
Ignite and the small explosion will pop it into place no wurries.
(this does really work but is a last resort I'd say .. )

You need a crap load of pressure very quickly. Like with a proper compressor.

You need to take the core of the valve out too, then give it a proper PSSHT and it'll pop on.

You'll really really struggle to do it with a footpump, and neither will a supermarket compressor.
