  • Beading issue...

    I have a set of 10wide Rotiform OZT with Federal 595 215/35 on them.
    Last year I had a leak on my rear driver side almost all the way around the face bead. I replaced the tire this year & everything was fine. I assumed it was the tire having a shitty bead even though it was only a few month/couple thousands miles old.
    2 weeks after putting the wheels back on this year I come out one morning to a flat on the front passenger wheel. Fill it up with air only to see its leaking all the way around. Tried bead sealant & that failed almost immediately.

    I know Federal's aren't the greatest of tires but come on.
    OR my main question is how can I fix the bead on the wheel it's self?

      Is the wheel true? Check it for runout, if the bead is not perfect, see if it can be machined.

        cheap tire + too much stretch/too small of a tire = issues with the bead..
