Best video on the topic yet. I see you lined up the red dot with the valve. You made it look easy...........I suppose the wheel you are working with makes it easier than most and I think the fact that you lubricated all the right spots also makes a big difference. JOB WELL DONE!

you would of made it easier if you would of started the mounting process from the backside of the rim...also after you completely air up its recommended to deflate completely and re-air ....sounds wierd but as your tire shows you where to line up valve stem with dot marked on side wall...its prebalanced..the inflation and deflation the rei-nflation relaxes the rubber and actually ensures the tire isnt "out of round" which most tire manufactures recommend

if You start from the front first . and then Finish it from the back side YOU May Bend Your Rim When Mounting It . Because there is nothing Supporting It. The Front Of The Rim Has Rib's To support It So It Won't Bend. the back Can Bend Much Easier. i hope This Help's someone out there. Peace

Well normally with a new tire you wind up with a 3 or 4 inch gap between the bead of the tire and the rim flange which makes it way more difficult and requires a bead blaster to-seat the beads.. .
