If you get a flat tire on a lawn mower, small trailer , etc and it's lost the bead/Seal , simply wrap a ratcheting tie-down all the way around the center of the tread to compress it. Then apply air from the compressor into the valve stem. It'll pop right back on and inflate. DO NOT inflate further than the 'pop' until you release the ratchet strap.
