bead seating???

I flopped my rig and slid a lil' bit. one of the tires that slid will sometimes and somtimes not hold air, i can hear it coming from the bead, do i need to dismount it, clean it and remount it? (there's grass and flowers and shit in there. thanks, if anyone can do this for me would be a plus. I have a wallet full of beers.

You may be able to jack it up let all the air out of it and clean around it with a small straight head screwdriver.. If that doesn't work you will have to break the bead and clean it.. It all depends on how much junk is in it...

my old set of michelins did this almost every time i wheeled. each time i'd have to take the tire off the rim and clean up all the dirt and grass out of the rim and clean the bead up. haven't had the problem since i put bfg's on it.

use your hi-lift to push the bead down and clean it up with a rag.

Then air back up.

If you are really worried, use some bead seal to keep erroneous crap out of there.
