Post by: Krandall on March 22, 2010, 09:51:20 AM: Way weird... and they are the correct size tire for the rim?

only thing I can think of is if when he put them on the first time if they never fully seated onto the rim..

I'd put more air int he tires and you can usually hear when the bead pops into its seat.

This is exactly what happened, they weren't seated all the way the first time.
