I've got a flat front tire on my 1533. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I tried to air it up with my little compressor but the tire won't hold air. it's come off the rim. What size are the lugs? I guess I'll take it off and get it fixed.

Got a flat tire a couple weeks ago on my GC2300 (front right). Had my dealer fill both front tires with foam. It adds weight and there are no worries of flat tires again.

Cost ~$130 to do both tires. If I would have had all 4 done at the same time, the price per tire would have been less due to setup.

You will more than likely need to get it up off of the ground. If you have a loader it is easy, if not get a jack.

Get the tire off the ground.
Wrap a tie down strap around it then shoot the air to it .
Beed should pop out to the rim and seal off.

The first thing to do is step
#1 jack it up so you can spin the tire freely then
#2 put some dish soap on the bead and rim lip
#3 Wrap a tie down strap around it and then
#4 shoot the air into it . like poster LBrown59 said after that it should be back on the rim .

PS the soap trick I learned from my dad who was a tire man and for best results you need a air compressor with tank not those little 12 volt air compressor . they might work but it will take a while with them along with cussing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
