Letting air go in tyres/letting tyres down

[Hazza]

Whats the easiest and best way to let tyres go down?

I've pressed the little button thing inside the valve to let air down, but it stopped after a while, and hasn't fully go down...

Wts the best way?

 

[Chrisjk]

Sit on it and push the pin in further.

 

[Peperami]

Lol, yes.

 

[Hazza]

I'm not that heavy, would it still work?

 

[DrR]

Knife.

No, you'll need someone really fat to get all the air out.

Have any fat friends?

 

[Lewis_S]

Knife.

or just get a tool to take the pin completely out like tyre places use...

they he will have to have new valves put in, im guessing they arnt his wheels

 

[Chrisjk]

Are you planning on removing the tyre or just softening it enough to get the masking tape tucked behind the rim, if its the latter you shouldn't need to let it go completely down.

 

[Hazza]

I will try sitting on the tyres 2nite, if not, i'll get my gf and my brother sit on it with me LOL

Well its not down enough yet, so need to let it down more.

 

[Chrisjk]

Could always stick it on your car as a last resort, and let it down with that weight.

 

[Hazza]

Can't be arsed to do that to all 4 wheels lol

 

[Peperami]

Lol! Common sense dictates that if you sit on it, and roll it along while sitting on it and pushing the pin in, more of the air will come out.

I was joking about the chubby friends thing haz, 8 stone will be fine.

 

[Hazza]

I know, lol.... but im seriously 8 stone

 

[Peperami]

I know, lol.... but im seriously 8 stone

Eat boy eat!

 

[couzens]

take em to a tyre place and ask em to remove them carefully as you wish for them to go back on?

 

[Hazza]

EFFORT!

 

[couzens]

EFFORT!

[f0xy]

every suggestion you're moaning about it being an effort, why are you offering these services if thats the case ?

 

[Peperami]

Will take 5 mins to roll it around on the ground holding the pin in :S

Pmsl - how big are these wheels ??

??

The satisfaction of a happy customer and great looking wheels is why im doing it!

But if the tyres don't go down when i sit on it, then off to the tyre place

 

[Laura]

but will cost £30 to have the tyres refitted

Just take the valves out, sit on it, then screw the valve back in. Simple.

 

[JCC]

As said, theres a tool we use at work that removes the actual valve from inside its rubber casing etc, air out in seconds. Then simply refit again and re inflate.
No need for new valves/ taking tyres off etc

 

[ditz]

buy a valve key - you can remove and refit the valves fine they dont need replacing

if you want to do the job properly you need a tyre shop to pop the bead on the tyres so you can mask them properly
