[QUOTE="Agent2, post: 14816, member: 17"] First tire change is tough, it gets easier. What I have found- I don't have a tire changing tool, I use an old tire for a base. Making sure the bead on the opposite side of the irons is in the recess of the rim, I stand on it. Good quality irons, I like using three irons, seat all three irons, then start working your way around. Tires warmed up in the hot sun are much easier to work with. Lube, lube, lube, soap, windex, whatever, keep reapplying when it's hot. Partially inflating the tube when it's inside the tire helps prevent pinches. A bead buddy really helps. Did I mention lots of lube? The more times you do it, the easier it gets. [/QUOTE]
