Thanks, you saved the day to get my tractor back up and running right away. No need to wait for a service appointment.
Thanks for this. I’ve mounted tires by hand before but was fighting a set today. Watched two other videos before yours and still fighting. The key that saved me from your video was to keep the opposite side down off the lip of the wheel as it had crept up as I worked the tire around.
Thank you for the video! I was able to do install my 195/50r15 in a couple mins after some practice and getting the technique down!
BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN ON THIS... thank you for doing this! Hell yeah!
I used to work at an amusement park where I would always have to go out and help the maintenance vehicles reseat their tires to the rim because for some weird reason these guys were always hitting something and basically breaking the bead of the tire which is probably because they would drive around with the tire pressure so low that the instant they hit something the tire would lose its seal. I would jack up the truck and then put a ratcheting strap around the outside diameter of the tire really tight. Then I'd start filling the tire with air to pop the bead back into place and remove the strap and fill the tire back up to the pressure it was supposed to be. 14 years later I find myself randomly watching videos about manually installing tires while drinking my morning coffee.... Nice tutorial!
So first we need to buy a trailer to break the bead 😂😂
A way that I would do it is to put the car on jack stands, place a board on tire , place oem jack on board, start jacking up against under the car.
@@GuyX2013 another way to do it is to use a trolley Jack and a rachet strap so you essentially strap the rim and tire down to the bottom of the jack and the jack up the tire to break the bead
Buy a small hammer like tool with a flat wedge on 1 end and sledge head on the other and pound the tire to break the bead
I got a stick like a long 2×4 , laid it in front of my car, laid the tired down, line it up with my car put it on the tire and just rolled over it.
Facts I hate videos like this
The "skinny" part of the wheel is called the drop center, it's easier to put the tire on if the edge (bead) of the inside is pushed down into the drop center before putting the rest of the tire on the wheel. Good tutorial though 👍👍.
This was great! Very informative. Now I have no excuse to change my tires on my old wheels.
I never comment on videos, but it was my first time changing a mower tire and your video saved me. Thanks so much for this video, it was great!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the video. You saved me $120 actually about 180 with balancing. I have 22" rims and my tire machine only does 20" so I was going to take it to the shop. First tire too me about 3 minutes to get it off now finish the other 3 and need to clean up my rims and mount my tires. Only suggestion I have is take the tires off from the back side so you don't scratch the rims.
That's perfect, I was changing the trailer of the tire. Just had to use some jack stands. Much appreciated
Nicely done! I like the track sounds in the background too... Well done man!
6:00 instead of standing you can also use vice grips, and for the place where the top bead is having a hard time and you can’t reach the bar under, hit the head sideways with a rubber mallet. also, the same rubber mallet strat works for getting the bottom bead on
Trailer jack tip is a good one 👍
we used a method SIMILAR to this to replace tires for semis at a shop i worked at. If you just put some heat shrink over the tire irons then you won't hurt anything but the reseason you scratched your rim is because you didn't use more bars. resistance is what causes scraping and marks. Oh and just straight dish soap (we used dollar tree brand) works better than water and soap mixture.
Can you explain more I am a bit dumb
Metal to Metal contact always scratches/debts the softer metal. Even if a softer than aluminum breaker bar exist, it still scratches the paint.
Big thank you for posting this! Just did my truck tires - 265/65/17s. Have a manual tire changer, but didn't realize it only fits rims up to 16". I've done tons of bicycle & moto tires, didn't even cross my mind that car/truck tires could be done this way. Broke the beads with the tire changer, then swapped out the tires using 17" curved moto tire irons. Way more leverage than those small spoons, made the job almost as easy as the manual tire changer.
Similar deal here. But I only have primitive tools with no moving parts.
Not the first time I've seen this. But I like his methods better than most other people's. It's similar but he takes his time
I wish I could find you and buy you a beer mate! I bought the whole kit on eBay to change and balance tires myself $300! And after 2 days of trying I did it your way!! Thanks buddy I feel like a king now!
A $300 kit when you can get a $25 service ? Not much of a deal...
@@karynastukanova6471 It is when you are a racer and go through LOTS of tires. When I pay someone to mount/balance it's $19/tire. $300 would pay for itself really quick. You also can't take the tire shop to the track with you.
I subscribed instantly once i saw this video i am proud of you man keep the good work
I like the RV in the intro. 👌
"Sometimes it's really hard to pull out" I FEEL YOU BRO I FEEL YOU
Child support in the near future
Yea my wife does not like when i pull it out ...
Yes sir it is hard to pull out 😭 then theres a reboot time for 5-30 minutes
Some PEOPLE have really DIRTY minds but hey ... someone has to right ..?? We have to keep the humor going or else we all go insane

Thanks for the video,I'm definitely doing this!!
Well i've just done it right after watching the vid. Once i figured how to break the bead by lowering my car onto a piece of wood over the tyre the rest was easy. I just used two large screwdrivers to get the tyre off. 185/60/14 tyre on an alloy rim (from an old Mk 2 Golf).
Great job bro. Starting by the valve helps. Low profile even phew
Evan is right its a perfect way for penny pinchers. There are two things i would stress, theres no substitute for lubrication, always use plenty. Also early in my tyre fitting career i asked an old fitter the secret. His reply was it is like drinking Scotch, a little and often ! (this was a reference to how much bead to ease over the rim!).
Thank you for all the good info.
@7:42 the definition of diy
Of course, you cannot forget the balance?!?! Good video
Nice one, I will try this. I have some flaking paint so will take off one at a time and get them looking a bit better. Even if there is scratching around the edges, they will still look better than before.
Thanks for making us the vid 💯✌❤😀
Thanks for the information your video was 10x easier then the rest
Glad I could help
Great video sir!
I always turn the rim face down. That way all your pry-bar work is done on the inside (unseen) lip of the rim, as you're removing the old tire. Face down again when mounting the new tire as well. This way your pry-bar never comes in contact with the 'finished' front side of the rim.
I’m sure he doesn’t care because he’s doing the work on a drift car anyways. No need to keep a drifter pretty cause it won’t stay that way for long.
Awesome stuff bro!
Worked! :-) Just refitted 185/60/14 tyre on an old mk2 Golf with a block of wood and two large screwdrivers (and a jack to raise and lower the car to break the bead).
Topslotta what about balancing the tire? did you?
That the way
Almost the same tire on my 77 pickup
ty, my S4 has tires that are a very close size to those, from what I've read before I thought these tires were too short to be able to do it without a professional tire changing machine. I guess maybe what I had read was that it's impossible to do it without damaging the rims, as that does seem to be the case. anyway ty, glad to see it can be done and maybe I will start doing it myself.
I love it,this video
No inner tire to put on a wheel..soo good.
Almost all car tyres are tubeless now.
while breaking the bead with the trailer jack....spray some dish soap around bead this also helps it slip away great vid
I have a flat on my 2001 X5 with 315/35-20 rear tire. I bought the replacements and I am determined to mount them myself. I just bought the Harbor Freight machine (the instructions say it only handles up to 16" tires, but I don't know why that might be after looking at the design). I just don't like the tire places charging more for low profile tire changes. If anything, I will use your method. Great vid!!!!
I wish you luck! That will require lots of elbow grease to unmount!!
How much was the machine
auto mechanic tips and tricks I think got it for $30 with coupons!

Nicely done.
Went out and changed an all terrain 17”. Not as hard as I imagined,but when the tire slipped over at the bead and I went down on the concrete...that was hard. Had to check my stomach to make sure the large screwdriver wasn’t in it
Damn! That had to suck.
STILL LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! Lol ... Thank you
Great videos thanks
Nice video, what size tyres were they? I'm hoping to get 255/35/19 on but hoping they are not too low profile for this method
Hey does it matter if you use a impact wrench machine or not?
Nice job! I well remember dismounting/mounting tyres this way when I lived back in the UK, but I'm surprised you made no mention of asymmetric rims (think the original Minis), those tyres needed to be mounted/dismounted from one side, as they were so small they wouldn't stretch over the wrong side, and I've seen many brand new tyres ruined by some gorilla attempting to mount them from the wrong side. Also you made no mention about direction of rotation, or balancing after mounting???
Does this scratch your alloys when putting the tyre iron against alloy and the tyre I mean the force pushing against the soft alloy ?
good job my friend great video
Nice job!!! Loved your camera person, added just a little more enjoyment to the video

great video😊
I change my 12" trailer tires like this, I don't get buying a new $80 wheel and tire at TSC when I can drop $35 at Walmart and 30 minutes of effort and they're good for another year at least. I change every trailer tire I've got like this, it's easier than even he's showing once you've done it half a dozen times.
I have my own rim clamp tire machine. Purchased it from Harbor Freight probably 14 years ago when they sold them. They don’t anymore. The HF machine didn’t come with a bead blaster but I also own a portable Bead Blaster hanging on the wall that I used with a old 10/10 Coats Tire Machine that I owned previously. Even with the HF machine it could be a tuff job with some tires. I can’t mount Run Flat Tires with it. Had a tuff enough time trying to demount one from a C5 Corvette. Forget about trying to do it on the ground without a machine. The price was right on the HF machine at $1000 delivered to a loading dock where I picked it up in my Van back then. Other then not being able to do Run Flat tires I saved plenty of time and money over the years owning this machine. Not sorry one bit that I purchased it to have in my Pole Barn along with a 9000lb lift,80 gallon Compressor, balancer both High Speed and bubble and other needed Automotive equipment. I never wanted to be at the mercy of the local garage if at all possible. It paid off with all my regular vehicles and Collector Cars.
Thanks nice video
Lol I have a tire break that looks like a big set of vice grips it works well and 3 tire spoons , I've done this on the side of the road for people, especially the guys that bought the trailer with 5 bolt hole pattern wheels and a 4 bolt spare lol....you can put a ratchet strap around the middle of larger tires to seat the bead easier just be careful when you pop it lol
I got really close but couldn't pull the tire off. That steel brlt was just super tight. Tried almost 2hrs. Broke the beef using the jack, and tire spoons got the front lip off with ease
Thank you
Steel bar vs. Alloy rim, GO!
Not bad! Low pros are always tougher
Even if you can do this, then how are you going to balance the 4 tires?
I worked as a TD in Hollywood for years so I know my camera angles which makes me wonder what's going on in and about 8:02 minutes into the video. You could tell that whatever it was there was no time to loose. I can tell you one thing...from that angle she was gathering something other than tire changing related footage. Is it possible that there were two DIY vids being produced simultaneously or was she just collecting B roll? (This wasn't productive or relevant but who could resist? A: Apparently everyone else except me, It was either this or go out in the rain and try out what I learned in the video. So good work. I learned and gained some courage to face the challenge that lay ahead........Thanks Evan)
That's the point where he says "get in here". Something a man will never hear a women say.
Are you guys next to a race track or something similar
well thanks for including those of us that don't have tow feet
Damn and that’s a low profile tire so impressive
Good video !! But you just forget to talk about the right rotation !! To be sure you are on good side!! Because really frustrating at the to see it’s been installed the wrong side !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks a lot !!
that is an awesome video man it really helps, but dude what about balancing the tire? did you do it?
Thanks! I just do a quick burnout and that takes care of balancing for me.
Evan Woss can you please check over you dm’s on instagram? I sent you quick question it would be very much appreciated if you’d answer it!! -your friendly neighbour from Canada
Nice work, low profile tires can be a PIA.
Definitely hard to pull out!!!!
That's why I have 3 kids now 😊🤣😊🤣
You are a fucking genius with the trailer jack thing damn man thank u
What Psi do you run?
also bumper jack to break the bead, nice job
Claw hammer if your in a jam
The hard part is finding a valve stem remover that wont damage the valve stem.
Don't accidently buy a valve core remover like I almost did.
I have a problem I got the tire on the rim but it's not on the beed do I fill it with air
DIY! Save money doing it yourself. Spent $1,500 for the trailer. Smart!
Man I wish my tires would go on this easily he just stands on it and it gose right on 😮
How you going to balance them?
Don't you need to balance the tire after mounting it t?
This is great. Im going to do this soon although might put it on from the back so not to scratch the face of the wheel
Tire lube works best and is better for the wheel.
RhuGlyde from Napa works the pinch :)
That rubber must be really soft. I changed tires on semis and trucks easy but when it came to a 225 55 17, No way was the bead breaking. I had 2 sides of the tire touching one another and still didn't break. Put tire lube and nothing, wd40 and nothing. Finally I cut it off then tried to slip on the new tire. The first bead went in almost too easy 2nd yea not a chance. I ended up just taking it to a shop and they had the same problem with the 2 tire. Idk why but that bead didn't break.
I use a 2# hammer to tap it on. just hit the bead while forcing it in.
Do I have to buy mobile home to change my tire?
You sir are the fucking man! I’m a smaller guy and was having a hell of a time trying to get the last side seated, so watching your technique gave me a better idea of how to approach the task. Many thanks bro!
If you raise the rim off the ground it might help getting the tire on.
Do I have to buy Camping Trailor to change Tire for free?
That rim looks like you've done a bunch of tire changes on it lol
1800 buys a tire machine and balancer. Yep done with old school methods, now I just walk in my garage and change tires and balance in 20 minutes or less. No damage to wheels.
why no mount and dismount on the non visible side of the wheel( the back side) it may still get scratch but at least it will not be visible from the front!
I dare you to try this on a 15" or 16" Pick-up truck tire. I've done it, but used tire irons and LONG cheater bars,...
This may be doable on garbage tires such as the ones in this video but on something like an RE71 or RT660 it’s impossible to remount. Getting them off is super easy. Going on is the issue. You can’t just stand on them to get them to stay off the bead. They’re too damn stiff. I get it though, no one drifts on good tires.
Thanks. But I will say that when you're pulling or replacing OLDER tires, they just aren't so flexible anymore. Still doable, but bigger PITA! :-)
3:28 Damn sure is!🤣
To break the bead i made up a square frame out of some scrap metal, put wheel in frame and used a bottle jack. First attempt was a pain in the arse, took me ages, 2nd attempt went a lot smoother and quicker.
Bob Morton nice! Sounds like a really good idea
Cheers for the vid anyway, this and others really helped me out.
Do a video with a 30 series tires 👍👍👍👍
LOLOLOL I have done a set of 265/30/19 like this. It didn't suck as bad as I thought it would, but never again.
3:28 "Sometimes it's really hard to pull out..." *camera girl laughs*
How to capitalise on this?
What about balancing them?
All these videos are good idea but if you don't balance your tires it will be a very rough ride
My boss would kill me if I scratched that rim like that😂
Whatever that vehicle is in the background that you can hear dude Freaking ripping back and forth 🤣
Savage!
