The tire goes up onto the bead without issue though there is no "pop" to it. It's basically a brand new wheel and tire. Bought a Toro ZTR last summer and it has maybe 12 hours on it. I get it aired up and it's flat in about 2 minutes, sometimes it's flat as soon as I get the ratchet strap off. Anyway, neither tire nor rim is damaged in any way and dunking the whole thing in water shows both beads leaking.

I got those too. Same setup on the generator and garden cart. I'm thinking a gallon of Slime could get used up as it's on sale at O'reilly's. I just don't want to waste the time if it doesn't work. Might be worth picking both of them up.

I had that issue on my new quad. turned out that the bead in the tire was spilt. the tire guy told that the tires come from China inside out. sometimes the bead splits when the factory reverses them.
