A method and apparatus for seating tubeless tires, particularly large tubeless truck tires, on a rim. A tank having a volume related to the internal volume of the largest tire to be seated is charged with compressed air at a pressure which is within the range of pressures considered safe for general purpose vehicular applications. A discharge barrel having an internal passage with an area of from 8 to 20 square centimeters is disposed between the tank and the bead of the tire and positioned so that air discharged therefrom strikes the bead from a direction roughly perpendicular to the plane of the bead. An approximately full-flow valve, positioned in flow control relationship to the barrel, is opened abruptly to direct a pneumatic pulse having a fast-rising leading edge against the bead. The bead then seats on the rim as a result of the combined effect of the motion imparted thereto by the impact of the pulse and the air injected into the tire in connection with that impact.
