  "textContent": "A vehicle wheel service system, such as a wheel balancer, tire changer, or inflation cage configured with a supply of pressurized air to seat and inflate an uninflated tire mounted onto a rim of a wheel assembly, and to detect the occurrence of tire beads seating onto the wheel rim during the inflation process. The vehicle wheel service system includes a processor configured with software instructions to control a flow of pressurized air into the tire during an inflation process, and to receive input from one or more sensors responsive to the seating of the inner and outer tire beads. The processing system is further configured to utilize the received input to detect the occurrence of the tire bead seating, and to terminate the inflation process either immediately or upon reaching a selected inflation pressure.",
