Ken-Tool 31437 Truck Tire Bead Seater 16-1/2" to 17-1/2"

The Ken-Tool 31437 is a professional-grade tire bead seater designed specifically for mounting hard-to-seat truck tires on 16-1/2 to 17-1/2 inch rims. This essential tool simplifies the tire mounting process for radial, bias-belted, and conventional truck tires.

Key Features:

• One-piece rubber construction for durability and reliability
• Fits 16-1/2 to 17-1/2 inch truck rims
• Works with radial, bias-belted, and conventional tire designs
• Creates an effective seal between rim and tire during inflation
• Automatically slides out once proper pressure is reached
• Made in USA

How It Works:

When properly lubricated and positioned, the bead seater forms a temporary seal between the tire and rim during inflation. This seal allows air pressure to force the tire beads into the rim flange. Once the beads are properly seated and the correct pressure is reached, the bead seater automatically slides out and over the rim. For best results, always use bead lubricant in conjunction with this bead seater.

This tool is an indispensable addition to any commercial tire shop or fleet maintenance facility working with medium and heavy-duty truck tires.
