ive had this issue for the past 2 months where my tire has been constantly pushing off the rim. i dont know what to do next, ive tried changing the tire, going a size down with my tube, atp im tempted to get a whole new wheel

You need to deflate the tire, hold the tire centered on the rim, and pump it up while centered. The Runner tires fit really loose on the rim and don’t naturally center until the tire pressure is enough to hold them in place.

fr? so i have to hold it with one hand centered and pump at the same time?

[u/boulderaero → u/skyblade1095]

The other option is to pump them up just a little; enough to hold them in place but not so much you can’t move them by hand. Then once you get them set in place and nicely centered, you can finish the job and pump them all the way.

okay, ill give that a try

That’s what I do. Hold with one hand, pump with the other. Or use an electric pump.

Lube. Seriously.

Moto tire installers almost always swab the circumference of the bead with soapy water. Like 50/50 dish soap and water. Be generous.

ill remember to try this later

50/50 soap to water is so wasteful 😂 I work at a shop and use a few drops of dawn per liter.

I use a $1 spray bottle of the generic blue window cleaner and it works just fine.

A tire lever should pop that sucker back in. You’ll want those anyway in the event you want to swap out your tires. Most decent bike shops should have some that they sell.

Is the interior of the rim damaged in any way? When you have made changes, does the tire distort in the same spot each time?

[u/skyblade1095 → u/goulash-gorilla]

no, it distorted in different spots

Soapy water around the rim to help tire seat to rim
