You managed to empty the tire before or after seating the tire beads?

It is almost impossible to hold an blow gun tip into (i.e., within and against) the Presta valve body (without the valve core). Much easier to use a blow gun soft tip over and around the Presta valve body (without the valve core). Does your blow gun have a 1/8" NPT fitting? If so, I can just send you one of the tips I bought if you cover shipping.
