Tim...

Shouldn’t you be talking to HOOSIER? They used to be great with their Customer Service.

I just had a new set of Hoosier Speedsters mounted on the Revolution rims we are using.  The first shop I took them to could not get them to seat on the rims.  They were limited as to much air pressure they were allowed to use to seat the tires on the rim.  The second shop also had the same problem and only got the tires to seat on the rims with 150 PSI air pressure.  He set the tire and wheel out side around the corner in case either exploded.  Fortunately, they didn’t.

 

We have been using the Hoosier Speedsters in 205/60R-15 on these wheels for about 10 years and this is the first time we have had this problem.  Did they change the design of the bead on the tires and has anybody else had this problem?  The second shop thought it might be the design of the wheel, but like I said, we’ve used these wheels for about 10 years with these Hoosiers.  I’d be interested if anyone has had a set of the 205/60R-15 mounted on the Panasport wheels and if they had problems.

 

For a while there it looked like we wouldn’t make the Kcup because we couldn’t get the tires on the wheels!  The tires this new set replaced were from September last year and they were also the same size Hoosiers.  No problem mounting them last year.

 

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on my problem.
