Hmmm I dunno about this...
Thats a cheap way to do it.
I love this one. Redneck way to mount a tire. AND IT WORKS!!! I guess I need to keep some lighter fluid in my bus just in case.

Saw that one before..
anybody remember "Portawalls" fake whitewalls that went over your tire ? I think they are still available mail order..
I remember those days when you would find Port-walls along side the road or some guy going down the street with half a Port-wall attached under the rim and half out - flapping away! LAUGH@

Had em on a 61 T-bird many years more than I care to remember! had cheapo re-tread tires on that one too!
That mounting video rocked!
Truckers & 4x4 guys have been doing that for years, but you use way more and it not only mounts it but with about 4 psi in it
Years ago I worked at a car dealership in Cherry Hill where they would bring in a guy that would cut the whitewall into the tire while it was on the car. Simply raise the tire, place a device under the tire (with a motor on it) that would rotate the tire. A cutting tool was then used to cut into the tire to expose the white.
Cool
