What is the maximum inflation pressure to see the beads both seated according to Technician B?

The appropriate maximum inflation pressure for properly seating beads on a tire is typically around 20 psi, especially for initial inflation purposes. At this pressure, the tire beads are generally capable of moving into the correct position against the rim, allowing for a secure fit. This is particularly important for ensuring that the tire is properly mounted before reaching higher pressures.

When inflating a tire for the first time or reseating the beads, applying too high a pressure can pose a risk of tire damage or explosion if the beads do not seat properly. Hence, starting with a lower pressure such as 20 psi allows for visual confirmation of proper bead seating without exceeding safety limits. This process is crucial for ensuring the tire's performance, longevity, and safety during operation. Following this practice, once the beads are confirmed to be seated, the tire can then be inflated to the recommended operating pressure specified by the manufacturer.
