ABSTRACT:
A tubeless tire bead seater and method of employing the same embodies a resilient, inflatable, endless tubular member which is adapted to be placed within an annular gap between a tire bead and its adjacent wheel rim flange. The construction and arrangement of the tubular member is such that in response to inflation of the tubular member, its inner circumference expands radially and inwardly toward the wheel rim flange to fill the annular gap and form a fluid-tight seal. After the seal is made, air under pressure is introduced into the tire to inflate it and force the tire bead against the adjacent wheel rim flange as the tubular member is forced out of the annular gap.
