Blue Streak
Wore out three sets of tires already!
Information for mounting Robert Dean tires from Wheelmen Facebook:
First, sand the inside of the tire to clean the mold release compound from the tire, then go to your local auto parts store and buy the 3M 08001 YELLOW Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive Tube (5 oz.). Do NOT get the black, because it does not hold well! Put the tire on the rim, starting at the stem, roll about 8-10" off at a time, squeeze a very thin, no more than 1/8", bead of glue down the center of the rim. Roll that section of the tire back on, and proceed around the rim until you have glue all the way around. Then go around the rim again, without adding any more glue, just roll the tire off and back on a couple of times to help spread the glue and to let it dry (it is a contact adhesive). Air the tire up to about 45-55 psi and you are done! The adhesive is a lacquer based product, so lacquer thinner will take it off your hands, but it also removes most paints, so be careful! Make sure the mold release compound is removed well enough. Wiping the inside of the tire with the thinner might help as well.
