I took a split rim to my favorite truck tire shop today and they said they quit working on these a year ago. So here I am learning on youtube. Thank you for this informative video.

This is not a split rim “widow maker” this is a split ring rim. There is a difference. The widow maker is the Firestone RH-5 and is a two piece rim that fixes together in the center of the barrel not via a split ring. Split rings although may hurt if you’re an ignoramous will not kill you the way a widow maker will by spontaneously exploding apart normally while inflating the tire but sometimes when adding load.

Split ring. Not split rim. Also not a widowmaker.

Some quick tips! Put the split in the ring directly across from the valve, this helps balance the tire. Also put 5lbs of air in it, then hit the ring with a hammer, this helps seat the ring.

That's actually a split ring and not nearly as dangerous as split rims. There are several versions of each. If done right you won't have a problem like you said

That is NOT a split rim or a widowmaker it is a split ring rim. A split rim/widowmaker are the Firestone RH5° that have the barrel of the rim split in the middle. Split ring rims are fully serviceable and are STILL manufactured today... Quit posting misleading and incorrect information...

I hate those videos where people skip the "hard part", and show things already done.

I’ve seen guys wrap them in chains while inflating. Great video.

I lube before sliding the tire on the rim and use a stand. I also have a cage. %0 years of split rims including GM widowmaker 2 piece rims. I had one fail at 50 psi. It went through the roof of the building. That's why I bought a cage. The chain was too light.

Split rims and Widowmakers are not the same.

I watched only 30 seconds and had to stop! EVERYTHING that he said in the first 30 seconds is wrong! This is NOT a split rim, it's a split ring rim and is TOTALLY different than a split rim! Split ring rims are still VERY common in America and are used on almost ALL mining tires as well as trailers that haul shipping containers! Why even make videos if you can't be bothered to find out basic facts before you post them?
