Default Got Mine Mounted

Got my Yokohama AVID Ascend 195/60/16 mounted with Ride on and a 45 degree valve stem. The bead seated much easier than I thought. I bought a spare rear wheel and took some fine steel wool and polished up the bead. Used simple green for a lube. Loud when they seat, but was real glad to hear it. Probable 40 lbs or so.

Don't have it mounted yet, have to wait for another nice weekend for that one.

I also purchased a spare rear wheel and mounted up the ENvigor ZPS last night. I have not put it on the bike yet. What are you running for pressures?
