The MAIN trick is.... Make sure you don't rip the bead while installing the tire. Once it rips you need silacone or a new tire.

one time i watched a shop local that tried fixin one of my work wheels which had a leak.....let the air out and sanded down some knicks they had on inside where tire seals and just put air in it and popped back in place stretched
i know some use the flame method and what not
but is what they did right? or they didnt stretch it correctly?

Well if the tire seats and leaks at the bead then it's either a torn bead or a burr on the wheel from the tire iron. Mark the wheel where the leak is and have the shop break the bead where the leak is and see if there's tire damage or a burr on the wheel. Have them put some bead sealer too

No problem. Lol I use fire method. Since I can't justify buying a cheetah bead blaster. Since I don't mount tires as a business I just do my own tires and for certain friends lol
