Deuce and a half split rims? PASS. Those could be deadly as you
seated the bead. I know a guy who rode one and lived. And I saw a
video of one take a guy's head clean off. If they taught you split
rim stuff, I'm not so sure they were respectful. LOL

The bulged pipe and rebar cage for inflating them clearly showed what can
happen, and they made sure I understood the procedure.

I was working in a tire shop (half a century ago) when one let loose in the cage. Very impressive sound and fury. Since then, I don't drive next to trucks.
