Tyre question

**mikeyboy** · 07-05-2009 15:49

I have a slow leak out of the bead on on 56 f100 rim.Is there anything to use as a sealer on the bead to stop the leak? I'd rather not use a tube.I did clean up the tyre bead and rim to no avail.

Had this a while back on a golf, tyre depot have a paint on sealer that they used and also moved the tyre round the rim a bit just to help seating, was fine then.

Try to get hold of a tube of Weldseal, smear some round the bead before fitting the trye, and that will stop the leak.

bead sealer ( black stuff like tar ) clean wheel up , remove rust dirt etc, then paint on the wheel nice thick coat where the bead of the tyre sits , also look under the valve, hope this help
