Just got tire shop to fit 225/55 onto my Rocket. No issues changing it......but they seem to be having an awful hard time inflating it. Had to leave it with them.

Why would inflating cause them a problem??
 
I had no problems. Mounted and balanced it myself. 245/50/16
 
Yeah........I was expecting the removal to be the issue but that was straight forward. I'll leave it til lunchtime tomorrow and see how they are doing
 
Sounds like the tire is not seated on the bead properly?

Very Risky....
Most modern tire machines have a reverse jet blast of air to seal the beads. If that isn't working something is wrong. Take it to another tire dealer.
Or, a commercial tire dealer will have a cheetah reverse air blast tool. That will do the job

They'll get it ... just sent you home so you didn't have to see the carnage. LoL
 
Job done when I called back today. Looks the business . Sunitrac 225/55. Went for a 10 mile drive and you know what......its not too bad at all. I was prepared for a terrible adjustment period but after the first couple of miles .... a bit more leaning and a bit more work but its OK. I'll adjust.
