Well, I have finally been able to make the commitment to getting my '49 Power Wagon running again. In the next few days, I should be able to put the rear tires on it and air them up. I have Michelin XZL's on the original split ring rims. The tires have been sitting for 6 years without any air being added, so I'm sure the pressure is zero. These tires were driven on these rims for several years, and have not been removed from the rims or otherwise tampered with. Is there any significant risk of the ring coming off and causing me bodily injury, like they sometimes can when these types of rims are fitted with new (or different) tires?
