What happens here
The video begins with a demonstration of seating a tire bead onto a rim. A man attaches a green air hose to a valve on a heavy-duty tire that is already on a rim but with an unseated bead. He then releases a quick, powerful burst of compressed air, which audibly and visibly 'pops' the tire bead into its sealed position against the rim. This rapid inflation method is typical for seating stubborn tire beads.
Goal: Properly seat the tire bead onto the rim for inflation.
