flat tires
Any tips for getting flat tires to be round again? Got a big grizzly and after dismounting the tires they have permanent flat spots from sitting. I tried airing them up with conpressed air, and it works for a minute but eventually bleeds out and back to flat. I really dont want to seal/glue them. Also tried a heat gun while airing them up, made no difference.
Any tips?

That's a good tip I never would've thought of. Thanks!mikea96 wrote:I have also boiled them with good results.

Re: flat tires
Last summer I got a set of Imex Baja tires for the Clod that were shipped in too small of a box. The seller just stuffed them in it and needless to say the became deformed. I kept kneading them back into shape while running them under as hot of water as I could. It worked really well but boiling them would have been faster I'm sure.
