Ken-Tool 31446 Tire Bead Seater, 14-15" Rim, Passenger/Light Truck
- The Ken-Tool 31446 Tire Bead Seater is a one-piece rubber tube designed to assist in mounting hard-to-seat radial, bias-belted, or conventional passenger and light truck tires. When inflating the tire, the lubricated bead seater forms a seal between the rim and tire, allowing air pressure to force the beads into the rim flange. As the proper pressure is reached, the bead seater slides out over the rim, ensuring a secure fit.
