Last night about 9:00 pm I had the left front tire came off the bead. We were experiencing a good old atmospheric river and I was trying to make sure our road didn't wash out. I had just been cleaning a borrow ditch take off with my angle blade and when I came out of the ditch the tire was trying to come off the rim. This is the second time this has happened. Just after Thanksgiving I was plowing out the mail cluster box for the mail carrier and right front tire came off the bead. This k3510 HST is my second 4x4 CUT and I have never had this happen before. This is the second season I have had chains and in both bead breaking instances I had the front axle chained up. I thought perhaps it was low air pressure the first time but I have been checking more frequently and I know the pressure was good last night. Is it possible the tire chains are working them selves between the tire and the rim as the tires flex? Both times I was able to remount the tire and seat the bead using the ratchet strap method.
