Mounting Tires at home No special tools just hands and a block

- Hey Fans! I got some slightly used tires and 4Runner Trail Edition wheels so I thought I'd try to mount them here at home. All I needed was my hands and block. You'll still need to get them balanced but you won't have a tire shop scratching up your wheels. Take look and enjoy.

Must admit that this was a lot more helpful than I expected! Thank you! Time to find some 285s :)
This worked like charm ! I mounted two stock Nissan frontier rims - 17” x 7.5” with Hankook Dynapro AT2 - LT265/70R17 tires.
The installation of the inner side popped on so easy I could not believe it. As recommended, I used tire dressing as a lubricant on the tire and the edge of the rims. I followed your directions for the outer side of the tire by stand on it and inching up on the right then the left per your video. The last 6 to 10 inches it popped right in as I moved my feet towards the top. I am 180 lbs but I don’t think weight was any factor. I also utilized a 4 x 4 piece of wood under the upper portion per your video. It took about 5 or 6 minutes for mounting the first tire. The second about 3 minutes. Thanks SO MUCH - you are the MAN.
Watching this makes me feel like I am trying to put a 15 inch tire on a 16 inch wheel. Can't even get one side on a 235-15 tire. Don't feel bad if NO YOU CAN"T DO IT ON MANY TIRES.
very helpful video, may be I will try it next time. Hoping for the best.
It helps too if you do this on a warm day like 80 degrees, let the tires sit in the sun for like 30 minutes.
Would it be the same if you heat it quickly
Good tip, I bet that helps a lot
Did mines 5 years ago. Me my little brother and a friend. We don’t weigh much. We all slipped and busted our shins each from the rim. But the thing is we got it done. Great vid man
nice job, i feel like an idiot because it just took me a half hour to do a tire on my rider mower 😅
Thanks for posting i’ll try this on my 33’s on my ‘74 cj
Now I'm going to have to try this. Same size tire. Discount Tires wants $150 to mount and balance my wheels.
That looks so easy.
Good luck doing that with a brand new tyre!
Great job thank you!
To do the balance are you taking it to the shop?
Awesome instructional, thanks!
Thank you. Not sure why I thought it was a crazy hard process to do this. Thanks for the video
It is
You're welcome!
It can be. You can do it yourself easily if your tires have a large sidewall like the ones in the video. The mechanics at the tire shop even struggle to mount a low profile tire using the tire machine.
I’ll definitely be trying this with my 20in f250 rims. I’m gonna try to put some 37s on it!
Nice. You're like a tire whisperer.
Drop center goes ↑. Good tips and ideas on lube too. I was thinking about bar soap. I've used trans fluid and soapy water in different applications. I don't know if the transmission fluid will attack the tire over time.
Like a boss I’ve did it just by hand before too a little harder but I weigh a lot
Great video thanks
Impressive!
Trying this!
I'm surprised how fast those tires came on! It took me about 3 hours to get my 215/65 R16 winter tires onto the rims! Needed a crowbar too! Nice video btw, I think the same about tire-shops, it's the only reason I wanted to do it myself. Also would love to have a pickup truck! Cheers
but he doesn't really tell you is is he more ways like 280 lb an no ware near 160
With a truck sidewall, this is fine. Four those of us with modern cars from the modern age, 65 ratio sidewalls is about the limit of what you can do. I haven’t seen a single video of anybody mounting a moderately, hello sidewall tire yet. That would be interesting to see.
Good job man! Did you balance them yourself too?
Good stuff.
New tyres are another deal altogether though as the bead and walls on mine are as rigid as the tyre tread :(
Am trying to find a way to get the bead into the wheel well so thay can go on.
Awesome, now I'm not going to bother with the tire shop when I get new tires and wheels for my Jeep!
Have you ever tried balancing beads?
I think they work good.
Good job. I would never have believed that you could do that without tire irons. I do my own motorcycle tires all the time, but I only did the tires on my Tacoma once and it was pretty difficult (same size tires as yours). Now I've got a 4Runner, and I've got some new wheels. I'm going to give your technique a shot. Thanks.
Well, I gave it a shot. Couldn't even get the first side of the tire on the wheel. Even with the tire in the drop center part of the wheel, I couldn't get it past halfway on. Last time I used tire iron and scratched up my wheels pretty bad. This time I've got new wheels so I don't want to mess them up.
Same here. It will not work like this shows. NO WAY> @@lestermarten4656
I'm guessing that with lower profile tires (as you'd explained) I could probably use crowbars (wrapped in electrical tape to protect the rim) to coax the tires (275/40R17) onto the rim efficiently. What say you to that idea? Never tried it ever. Might work.
I saw wheel on sidewall install (no damage ) stand tire stand
How do you balance it after mounting? Also, why did you pick BF Good.tires?
About to try this with some 37” swampers and I’m 125lb😂 wish me luck lol. No shop will touch them🤦🏼♂️😂
first video with "caveats"and have seen a few now. small tyres eg normal sedan size are very hard to remove and mount. in my case, I was out $16 AUD for levers and this is a third of the wheel change cost.
Small as in low profile tires will be hard to mount. The bigger the side wall the easier it will be.
@@SORENEAGLE they were 205/65/15 tyres, wd40 helped vs dish soap
What happened to your cool Ford truck Soren? We need help with our F 150
excellent! Now I don't need to buy any tire irons.
So “tire protectant” is a sealant for the bead?
Not a seal. It just helps you slide the bead over the rim.
AWESOME TECHNIQUE - great video - Do yourself a favor and buy an old school level balancer at harbor freight - between that and your eyeballs ( and a little patience ! ) I can balance 35's / 37's and 40's to within a gram - including the sweet spot to position the weights on the rim - ( You will need a power drill and laser line for that ) It's VERY EASY to learn how to do and costs less than getting them done at a shop .. ONCE... ha.
how are you gonna get the fuh-stay monetized-the tire on?
tried it with a 37" 10 ply didn't work. even drop my jeep on to one end.. still didn;t work
dude i took my tires to get mounted and the guy used a wire brush on my rims!! at least i was gonna replace them anyways but not cool he didn’t know that
Great suggestions. Thank you. The only thing that makes me kind of nervous is that I have seen tires blow up while inflating them with air and the explosions here on youtube do look kind of nasty. Any other way of avoiding it?
Tire pressure gauge. Don’t go over maximum pressure written on the side of the tire. Hit tire with hammer (not wheel) to cause vibration. Helps to pop it in.
No one wants to mess with our 37x13.50r20 I might be doing this myself
Here we go! What's the toughest tire and wheel combo you've been able to mount at home? Hope this helps you out!
That must of been a P rated tires because a 10 ply Lt aint going on that easy
God forbid a truck bed get dirty... A truck is a tool imo.
Only weigh probably 115lb I highly doubt I’d ever be able to accomplish this lol
Also I subbed :D
I weigh about 120 and I'm about to try! Wish me luck!
@@karenasandvik4367 best of luck!! Let us know if you have success!
@@karenasandvik4367 did it work?lol
