Mike Melton shows how to reduce tire vibration by releasing trapped air between the tire bead and rim. He uses a bottom roller to apply pressure, then massages the bead and rolls the tire several times to eliminate air pockets and make the shape uniform.

Alright, in this video I'm going to show you how to massage the bead to get the radial run out in a tire to reduce any kind of vibrations that you're going to have. So what he's going to do, he's going to do your bottom roller first. What this does, it puts pressure on that bead. See that right there? Puts pressure on that bead to release any kind of air trapped any kind of air trapped in between the bead of the tire and the bead of the wheel. So what that's going to do, it's going to reduce any kind of radial run out, which is kind of like how your tire is like in an oval shape and it just makes it more uniform. So as you see here, there's a little air trapped in there. So what you're going to do is roll around just two times, maybe three times sometimes depending on how much air is still trapped in there.
