Seating beads refers to the process that a mechanic would go through while mounting a tire. They need a machine to do this, so you should not have to worry about that warning.............unless you own a tire mounting machine, but then I would hope that you wouldn't be asking this question on yahoo answers...............

When a tire is mounted on the rim ( wheel) is usually has a "girdle" wrapped around it to squeeze the inner rolled edge against the metal of the rim. Then air is put in the tire while the " Girdle " is holding it in place. This will allow the tire to inflate, pop the rolled inner edge of the tire into the bead of the rim. It basically is a groove that will hold the tire on the wheel. If it is over inflated it will possibly damage the " bead" of the tire and you wont be able to get it seal anymore

Tire people use rubber "soap" to seat the tire on the rim. If, for some reason the "bead" gets stuck and is still holding air, beyond 40psi could cause the whole thing to explode. Not something you would want to happen to you if you are standing over the tire. This is only for tire installers.
