Tire removal

[jerseyrick1]

Ok, I have a small tubeless tire 145-70-6. I've changed alot of truck and car tires in my life but what's the easiest way to do this? Thanx in advance...

I'm thinking, cut them off and slide the new ones on with soap?

Get the old one off with one of those funny looking sledgehammer whatchamacallit it bead breakers, pry it off (soaky water helps) clean bead of rim with wire brush, install new tire with soapy water.

Take out the valve, and run the side over with a car/truck, it will break the bead. Again, MAKE SURE YOU TAKE OUT THE VALVE

Thanx all, I remember that trick! I see some things never change...

The car/truck trick doesnt work with 2 ply ATV tires.

Well my tires came today. I used the car to break the bead on them, just had to flip them over for the other side and I shot the seams with some good 'ol witch piss (WD). Got them off ok but putting them back on was a work out.

The tire pressure on these are 4lbs. Is that what you guys run? 14.5-70-6
