We jacked the car up and pumped the tires "in the air", and then dropped 'em back on the ground -- and they seem to be holding.
James says he's going to take it for a test spin later on, but for now, it's held up nearly all day long and no leak. I suppose that means that breaking the bead doesn't mean that the tires or rims are no good; it just means they have to be re-pumped.
Which is good. A friend of mine, who owns a tire store, quoted me over $100 to repair/replace the rims on the Subaru because they're aluminum alloy.
Yikes!
