So I was mounting this tire at work..

If anyone here knows what I'm talking about I was seating the bead around the rim, well it took 30psi to finally get the bead seated. It was a low-pro also for a 18.

Well the tire-goo to help the tire slide in place didn't work. Well it did, but when it seated it sounded like a 50cal went off and goo shot in my right eye. I couldn't see for 45mins!!!! I was freaking. I flushed that shit forever.. got all the goo out.

Luckly my visions coming back, slowly but I can see everything around. When I cover my "good" eye I can only read things very near. Its still getting better.. hopefully it will go back to normal soon.

Sounds like a *****, but I'd thought I should share this. In all conclusion..

Wear fuking saftey glasses! FTW!

was that your first time mounting a tire? haha, that sucks. i have to mount tires all the time. i do all sorts of them, but i do a lot of kart tires since a day at the track eats a set of them, a full 3-4 hours of practice and you are looking at two sets easily. sometimes those take nearly 100 psi to get both beads to seat.

lmfao...the same thing happened to me at work one day too...i had just a lil too much tire lube in between the lip and bead of the tire. well it took about 40 lbs to seat the bead and all the lube shot right in my face...i have a feeling it looked like a shitload of purple jizz on my face...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
