Gonna make a sign. No snapper front tire repair. I'll sell the tire rim assembly for a loss before fixing them.

Over the last perhaps 10 years I've seen various forms of airless tires used on things like JLG type man lifts ,small in plant rigging cranes etc .Makes sense if you think about it .Imagine blowing a tire on a man lift when you are 60 feet in the air .

Now things like riding mowers with tubeless tires are the biggest nuisance ever made .You can't keep air in those danged things unless you put a tube in them or fill them full of fix-a-flat .

Well on that it's nearly impossible to reseat the freakin little tubeless tire .I have a nice two wheel cart that gave me fits .Got tired of fooling with it and put tubes in it .No more problems .

It would be my luck I'd blow my head off or set the garage on fire if I tried that .

I usually toss the lit matches from about 4 ft away .......always a little rush when the bomb goes off !!!:blowaway::upsidedownbanana::upsidedownbanana::bananaskip:

I used to do the ether trick on truck tires all the time......till I had an 11R24.5 blow off the rim...Kinda cool it straightened the rim and sent the tire about 10 feet in the air. The rim was probably questionable I guess lol
