Review on MaxAuto Set Of 2 4.80-8 Highway Boat Motorcycle Trailer Tires 4.80X8 6PR Load Range C, Tubeless by Kody Bradley

Sealing the bead on the rim

While these tires worked out fine in the end, I found it extremely hard to seal the bead on the rim using a 10-gallon air compressor. I ended up tightening two rachet straps around the circumference of the tire on each edge to force the bead closer to the rim. Then I hit the top edge of the tire with a rubber mallet to help the bead creep up onto the shoulder of the rim. I removed the stem valve and used the blow-gun nozzle on my compressor to push the beads out to the edge of the rim. Removed the rachet straps, replaced the stem valve and filled the tires to pressure using the tire nozzle on the air compressor.

Pros
  • Tread is good for highway use
Cons
  • Inconsistent tread wear and lifespan
