problems mounting v710s
I have a set of v710's that the garage is having trouble mounting. They are 215/40r16 and the rims are 16x7 Motegi mr7. According to Kumho, they should fit. The tires are on the rim, but they can't get them to pop into the seat, so they won't take any air.
Is this common with low profile r-comps? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks Tim, I will tell them to try that. If they still have no luck after Monday, I'll take the wheels somewhere else.

here it's the CASC. The rules and classing are pretty much identical with SCCA, they just scrambled the acronym
Well the 2nd garage mounted 3 tires with no problem, but they failed with the other one. There is a defect in the tire that causes the bead to bulge away from the rim at one point. It's not very noticeable, but it's enough so it won't hold any air. I'm going to exchanging the tire.

yeah 710s are tough to mount. and i had the same problem but did managed to get them all to seat even in stock rims so dont blame it on the defect (hard side wall tends to do that). i use a tire machine like fallowing to mount mine . there is an arm that extends out to help to push the tire in and help the air seal . we had to use lighter fulid and fire to pop one of the tires(spray flamable substance in the tire, set it on fire and let the air expand and pop in place) but yeah, not easy to mount
