Standard Tire Band for Easy Bead Seating on Kart Wheels

• Built to seat stubborn beads. The band wraps the tire so the carcass cannot balloon while you bring the beads up on the rim.
• Helps seat a narrower tire on a wider rim. That is the whole point when the bead will not catch and the carcass wants to grow in the middle instead of popping out to the flanges.
• Encircles the tire and puts even pressure around it so the beads seat without stretching the tire out of shape.
• Durable metal construction for repeated mounting work and high inflation pressure.
• Updated hardware: 1/2" threaded rod with a large coupling nut. Hit it with an impact driver and it tightens fast.
• Need replacement hardware later? Use the Tire Band Repair Kit. Direct fit on current production bands. Older style bands may need a slight modification to the band.

If you have ever tried to mount a narrower tire on a wider rim, you already know the fight. The center of the tire swells, the beads stay lazy, and you keep adding air trying to get it to pop. That is what this band is for.

It keeps the carcass pulled in so the beads have to move out to the rim. Use it for slicks or rains when the tire is a tight or undersize fit on the wheel you are running.

Grease the threaded rod and nut so they keep turning freely. If the hardware wears out, grab the Tire Band Repair Kit instead of buying a whole new band.
