"Any tire shop should be able to do it. Normally they have a air line that screws on the valve stem to put the air in fast. If you can't get it with just screwing the line on, pull the valve out the inside of your valve stem and then screw the air line on. That will let more volume of air in it."

yah i did that at the shop...

im gunna try at work tomarrow hopefull sears has enough air pressure to pop them on if not im gunna try a 3'' or 4'' rachet strap on them insted of the tiny one i was using


what im really looking for first is one of those air blaster things ... i may just have to make one

215 is only spec'ed up to an 8.5" wide rim. It's pretty stretched on a 9. That being said, you shouldn't have too much of a problem finding a tire shop to do it.

it should inflate up fine. Sears can do it from past experiences.

You will need a bead blaster (tank full of air that forces it in about 100psi) 215 is a big strech on a 9in wide wheel . Some tires strech better then others if you have something with a XL rateing then its a pain in the ass to do it . I work for a tire shop in the Nova area ( dont ask why i'm in here ) and we have streched a few tires mostly 205's on like a 8-8.5 in wide tire find a tire shop that has a bead blaster it'll do the job .
