He breaking this tire down while wearing desert storm limited edition Air Jordans. He is a real one ☝️ totally awesome

I take on/off tires for a living at the shop I work In but it’s always awesome seeing how someone without the help of machines would do it. I learned a lot from you dude. I will defiantly use some of these tips when I need to improvise. Thank you!!

kind of in awe here...ive spent endless amounts of time and i end up cutting the tires. this guy did this faster manuallly then they do in a tire shop wiht a machine.. ill keep this in mind next time im de-rimming a tire..looks simple.

I was like oh that's a great idea then I realized I only have one vehicle

I watched my grandfather break bead on his truck tire this same way decades ago. He was in his late 50's at the time, and still changed his tires himself. very good video man, thank you.

One little trick that he did that he didn't mention, but he did do it. Every rim has a "drop centre" that's the little gully in the centre section. When you're prying off a tire over the rim, you want the opposite edge of the tire located in that little gully. That gully is what allows the tire enough movement to go out from the lip of the rim and over it.

I'm an old geezer and this is not new to me. But, what this young man is using is good old common sense, and shear Determination! Two things that made the USA what it is today. Kudos my friend, you're a blessed young man.

Bro just made a video explaining how to do this step by step and still did this faster than a machine shop visit. Thanks for sharing.

tires are best on tire4coin

A genuine dude, genuinely helping others thru spreading knowledge. I appreciate you.

Impressive. If you have ever worked with tires and rims you can appreciate how this gentleman demonstrates with ease the steps of dismounting and mounting without the aid of a tire machine.

This was straight up one of the few things I thought I would need to go to a shop for. Brilliant tutorial, thank you thank you thank you for sharing. I need a new rim now and will likely be giving this a shot in the next week.

Wasn’t even looking to remove a car tire from a rim but I was intrigued and watch the entire video, it is never too late to learn something new.

Here I am, in another country and 2 years later, and you helped me get a tire off a rim this morning! Thanks man!

Dude, you're a stud.... and a fantastic instructor! I never knew this could be that easily possible, thank you for taking your time to post this!

You are the man! I use to change motorcycle tires by hand some years ago and people were amazed I could do it without taking it to the shop. They learned! Thank you and I learned something too.

Much faster than me taking the trailer tires down to the local shop and waiting for them to install them. Thanks!

Bro, they don’t call you Mexican for nothing bc you can. Love it.

He makes the hand work look easy, but he's strong as f@*k, and putting a hell of a lot of force into it. I'm too weak for such a task, and sure do appreciate his youth, style, and vigor! Way to go dude!

Great job. A key is patience when breaking down the tire from the rim. Sometimes it takes a little rotating of the tire at different points to break the bead. Also small bites when putting the tire back on to prevent the bead from getting damaged.

I'm a tire guy. When the 20" wheels first came out our machines weren't big enough. So we mounted them this way on a flattened cardboard box. You'd think they would be harder to do but the smaller tire diameters are tougher to get onto the wheels.

Thank you so much. This is one of those jobs I assumed had to be done in a shop. Glad to know that with a few simple tools, some patience and some muscle I can do it at home by myself. I'm a mom who just got my first project car and I'm looking forward to doing as much work on it myself as possible.

I have never had a tire come off and go on so easily, but I'm glad it worked for you.

Thanks for bringing back a long ago memory. I remember doing this on a tire for my M151 Willys Jeep using an APC almost 40 years ago. Wish I still could fit into my jungle fatigues with that 29" waist I had then. THANKS AGAIN.

i got my tires from tire4coin

I have done this a number of times but I will make one comment. This dude is really strong to be pulling that tire over the rim like that. He made it look easy and it is not that easy!

I always used ATF. It is very slick. It has been a very long time since i have done this. It's nice to see people doing for themselves. It has just become so easy to carry them ad pay to have it done. Thanks for the video. Great job.

Driving down to Texas from socal so needed this video. Never know if you get a flat in area with low signal so you may or may not reach roadside 🤷‍♀️

tire4coin is only site where I buy tires

People that gave this thumbs down probably couldn't do this if they tried their best and or are just too lazy.Great job,I learned something new and will certainly use it in the future.

I was having serious difficulty trying to break the bead on a tyre to replace the valve stem and it worked a charm! Thank you so much for saving me hours of hassle!! It's genius!! Respect and thanks from Ireland! 🤘🏻🇮🇪

I used to do this 60 years ago on our farm in Ireland. Old leaf springs were better and less likely to damage an inner tube. Thanks you woke up some old memories.

Make sure to have something on the ground under the wheel so you don't scrape rim on concrete though

Definitely a easy one he did, one in 5 maybe 10! Didn't show him inflating it either, which can be tough money sometimes! It is best done with the valve core left out till you get beads seated on the rim again, allows for a greater volume of air which will help immensely! Sometimes you have to spray in a little ether and light it to get the beads to seat again! I was manually mounting tires before this dude was born! lol

Changing a tire on my lawn mower today. Everything that could go wrong did just getting the tire off. Your video was a light at the end of the tunnel. It was the part I was least looking forward to and yet it was so simple and fun in the end. I’m ready to cut the grass tomorrow! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the knowledge that you have given me today, good sir. You have made my life much easier, and that is greatly appreciated

Also sometimes the tires are a little tighter fitting so if you step on the part of the tire that's already seated and pushed the bead down in the middle you won't rip the bead if it's too tight to put on I've learned that the hard way before chewed up a bead to a tire remember sometimes you have to keep the tire pushed down from the rim to finish the last part of placing the tire on the rim or you may tear it

I like the 4x4 idea to break the bead, very simple and fast, good video.

Great video! Brings back memories of my teen years when flats were common. Thanks for sharing.

Another tip: Often the reinflation won't seat the rim because of air leakage and not enough air flow. I inflate tire before replacing air valve to seat rim, then install valve and inflate.

I found some mud terrain tires with good tred at the dump sadly they where dodge rims but with this video I was able to get them on my ford and it looks badass now. Thank you

I am sitting here feeling stupid, i am 53 and never seen or thought of this.

im buying 5 years tires from tire4coin

Man, dude,hombre,amigo…..by far the best at home tire and rim at home removal do it yourself video on UKposts!!! And all while wearing a pair of Jordan’s

GREAT VIDEO BROTHER, WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO CAN FIX THEIR OWN STUFF!!!!

Well done!! My dad used to do that back in the 60's, he bought tyre irons that were flat that worked really well. They even used non-tubeless tyres as tubeless tyres. Thumbs up to the people who make do.

Thanks for the video. I haven't done this in quite a while and had forgotten it isn't all that hard.

Tire Spoons are cheap and better than screwdrivers. Ok, after "breaking the beads" from the rim, when you pry the bead out, you MUST push the bead that is 180 degrees opposite that point (and mostly all around) DOWN halfway into the rim chnnel so it gives you slack on the end you are prying out. Sometimes using your foot or knee to push the bead into the channel to keep your hands free for prying. That is why there is a big wide channel halfway down the middle of the rim - you can see the channel in the middle of the rim at 3:38. If the opposite end of the bead does not fall into the channel, it won't give you enough slack on the end you are prying - and you will tear or distort the bead. The bead DOES NOT stretch, it is very strong, so you must give it slack by pushing the other end down toward the channel so it slides into the channel so you can pry out the other end without damage. Then you use "tire spoons" which are not as sharp as screwdrivers, as you go around prying out the bead while pushing down a bit on the opposite end of the bead. If you do this right, the bead will come out easy as "bud-da" [that is Bronx for butter]. Then flip the wheel over and remove the bead from the rim using a tilt in the tire to get the opposite side of the bead to fall into the channel. That bead will pop off like melted budda. Remember to do the same when putting on the tire. Wedge about 1/3 the tire bead in halfway down onto the rim, then you can use tire spoons to work the bead under the rim's lip starting about 90 degrees from where you wedge the tire and work it around, keeping the bead that slipped inside the rim down in the channel for slack in the prying. It takes practice. It's easy when you know how. Watch at 5:03 as he prys in the last part of the bead, the other end of the bead is hanging up on the rim lip and he uses a LOT of force on the bead (which could damage it and cause a leak) until the bead suddenly slips into the channel - giving him the slack he needed to get the bead in. If he had done that from the top, he could have used his knee to get the bead into the channel and not "fight" it so much. Soapy water helps to lubricate the bead but you MUST wipe out all soap/water from the bead, rim, and inside the tire after doing this - else the water will rust the rim lip over time and you will get leaks around the bead. It is best to dry everything off before putting on the tire and learn to "work" the bead into the channel and lip and not use soapy water at that stage to prevent lip/bead rust leaks.

Just one comment, when taking off or putting on a tire what helps me was step on the opposite side of the tire so the rim of the tire will give you more tire rim to help put the tire back on or off. I hope this makes sense. I do love the 4X4 idea. I seen it done by driving on the tire and I seen it done by using a huge sledge hammer. Thanks again for the tip.

I would pick a cool day in the shade. Thank you!

The Owner's Manual for my 1965 Chrysler shows to put the bumper jack bottom on the tire to push up against the bumper to break the bead loose, though they don't show then prying the tire off the rim. Today's drivers are so wimpy that cars don't even come with a spare. I swapped a 13" trailer tire manually and it was tough. I followed the same method, but prying the tire off was much harder than shown. The main trick when prying is to hold the opposite side of the bead down in the valley where the diameter is smaller, giving just enough room to slide the bead over the rim.

Tire shop is busy and wants to charge me a arm and a leg to swap out trailer tires from one rim to the other. AWESOME VIDEO! I was like damn I can do this now I just need to go buy a 4x4 at Lowe's. Thanks for the tire hack!

Ingenuity at its finest. Quick and simple. Great video.

tire4coin is best for tires

Now that is what Gunny Highway meant when he said IMPROVISE ADAPT OVERCOME!!!! HOORAH!!!!

You are the champion. When I was in high school I muscled a pair of tire changes similar to your method but without the benefit of the 4x4 and a vehicle. I had hell of a struggle and I was merely 135 lb then.

Didn't think that possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Thanks for the cool tip.

That was some master-level ingenuity! And you did it in a few minutes. Thank you for this. It will come in handy.

This might be the easiest way to take a tire off. This is genius and I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Cheers!

Well done young man. Best regards from Hasbury UK

Thank you for your tire trick I've never change the tire but now I feel you've given me the skills to tackle it

Out of all the methods I tried, this was the easiest. Thanks for making my life easy for replacing the dead TPMS sensors on my car.

Really cool bro, thanks...i have used other techniques that were good but the 4 x 4 method is the best so far...i really appreciate you taking the time to show us how it's done!

I used to remove and replace tyres in my garage in the sixties like that. You never use a steel hammer, because one slip, and you can rip the rubber. He should be using a rubber mallet. Two long tyre levers would be handy for all car DIYers, they are cheap, and have a number of uses. He was lucky the tyre was so easy to work with. They are not normally that friendly, especially if they are wide ally rims. Even my machine has trouble sometimes

MIND BLOWN!!! Changing bicycle tires is like this on a much smaller scale. I was literally just wondering the other day if you could apply a similar technique to car tires, but I thought the forces were just too high to do by hand. I never thought about using your car as leverage! Brilliant!

Did this at a gas station 10 o'clock at night when we had a trailer tire blow out and were able to buy a junk tire from the guy there for 5 bucks, got us home! Thanks!

To many or most of you this won’t make any sense at all but the agility of a young man! Used to do truck tires in similar fashion then use starting fluid and match to set beads back onto the rims. Great video!

Not bad. I've been doing my own like that for years and I won't use a screw driver doing this. The tire iron you had works but if you have one that's longer and use that crow bar it'd be much easier do to better leverage. Also, when you put that tire back on and the bead keeps slipping off the rim as you work around it, I use a pair of vise grips to keep the bead from slipping. You might not want to use them on a mag rim unless it's no good and be careful using them on aluminum rims also. Over all this was a great video. Love the truck.

Works great. Did it on an old lawnmower tire with a 4x6. At first it didn’t seem to work and slowly the weight peeled it back.

Just Awesome We need people like you sir to run our country.

I've heard of people changing car tires without tire changers but have never seen it - until now. Excellent video and super fast too. Thanks for your help.

Hey lad, thanks for the video, all the best from everyone in Ireland 👍

Well done young man :) Probably a forgotten skill for the younger generation. They should watch this vid.

Thanks - I did it that way (driving onto a board). The first one was not stable enough, but the second board was a go. I reversed the car on a bit, then I stopped the car and jumped additionally onto the tyre - that did the trick. I just wanted to put a new valve in. In line with Murphy's law, the valve fell into the tyre. I then added a bit of garden hose with duct-tape onto a vacuum cleaner and sucked the valve out again. Being more careful now, I placed the valve into position with a plastic cap on and then grabbed the valve by the cap with pliers to pull it thru (after having applied grease)... All good.

That was smart, the way you broke it down. I'll have to try that. Dad taught me how to drive up on the edge of tire right beside the rim and go around it a little bit til it breaks down, but your way is better -- less risk of damaging the tire that's on the car. One thing you failed to explain to the audience,though, is that while you are working the tire off and back onto the rim with your tools, you need to occasionally push it to the valley in the middle of the rim on the opposite side, 180° from the part you are working on. That gives you more slack in the bead to work it over the rim with the tools. I thought the toughest part was where you were trying to get that last little bit of the first side back onto the rim, and you were working inside the tire, almost, with the tools. I've put over 35 patches on the inner tube of my right front tractor tire (before finally resorting to Slime) because of wild pear thorns. I find it easier to put the tire back on the rim by working from the rim side with a pry bar, not the tire side. You did a great job, though!👍 It was a good instructional video. Thank you. God bless you for sharing this knowledge.

I used to repair flat tires using simple fiber based plug, but now they say the repair is unsafe and, therefore, not recommended. So I was looking for an inexpensive and easy way of taking tire off the rim and remount it after repairing the flat. When I was younger I saw people remove/mount without using power tools like this young man is doing. They used two pieces of leaves out of a leaf spring suspension and a big hammer. This man uses a tire iron and a heavy-duty screw driver. Anyway, it is nice to see that this job still can be done at home. Repairing tires can be done, I think, this way at home, but anything that requires balancing the tire still needs a trip to a shop that has the right tool. Thank you for showing this video.

I just tried your method to get a tire off a rim, it works like a charm, beautiful. Thank you very much.

Now I'm embarrassed after buying a tire mounting stand and tire irons I took over an hour to replace my tire and I could not get them to seat (kick on it). You the man!

The last step, angling the assembly and using your foot to seat the tire onto the rim, is a great idea IMHO, thanks!

I use a block under the board that's breaking the bead to stop it from smashing the tire completely. It can ruin those steel wires inside the tire. I can sometimes get by with about 3 inches of drop. Thanx for your time on the video.

You made that look easy, but even assuming it takes me three times as long using my nice Motion Pro motorcycle tire tools and rim guards, you have given me the confidence to replace the tires on my new (to me) 1996 Daihatsu mini truck. It has tiny tires. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with the tire shop because I would prefer to replace the tires one at a time while powder coating the rims between tire removal and new tire installation. Not a problem when doing all of the work myself. I'll static balance the tires as well.

Thank you so much dude. I tried a few other wars that didn’t work but this was easy and super effective. Saved me a ton of time 👍

Good video. Here's a couple of thing that I do to make it easier.: I always have a gallon of old used oil I save in a milk container, and I use a little bit of that to lube the rim rather than soapy water (it works better for me). Also, a tire iron from Harbor Freight is around $10 and it really makes this job easier. All of your techniques are great instruction too.

i do this on a daily basis.i dont own a machine on my tire shop..i know its hard but youre determined.good job and nice tips btw.

I have done this a couple of times . It is best to have a buddy help . Especially putting the tire on . To hold the other pry bar from slipping around on the tire . GOOD job doing it yourself two thumbs up.

you are a life saver... this is obvious once you see it but I could have spent a life time never thinking of this!!

OK, impressive how quickly you did that. I'm thinking that tire hadn't been on that rim for too many years, but still, I'm keen to try it. I have a tire I want to inspect the inside. I'd seen my father do this years ago, but don't remember it going this well! Now, show us how you balance it in your driveway. Thanks for the video.

I've actually done similar stuff in a parking lot in the middle of the night in a pinch. Didn't have a 4x4, just backed a trailer tire up on the flat tire on the ground and finished beating it off the rim with a ball peen hammer then removed the tire from the rim with 2 big screwdrivers. Amazing what you can figure out when you're in a bind.

Easy work. I keep coming back and watching this. I'm about to start changing my own tires. I do all my own maintenance already. Hate going to tire shops and spending money just for installation

this is savage... when you hear, teach a man to change a tire... gives whole new meaning.

Awesome job. Explained perfectly. I love it!! Thanks for taking the time to help people. You rock my man

I still have my wing window locks like you have on your truck from the late 70s or 80s they work ! Nice display on the tire R&R or rip & replace good quick job !! Thanks

if you have custom rims put a piece of carpet under them to protect the rim nice video this method has worked well for me for over 50 years

Great way, never thought of this but surely worth trying! Thanks for your demonsatration 👍

I would never be able to do this just because I am an older lady...lol. But I think it is fantastic you did this with no special tools. You took one tire off and put another one on in less than 8 minutes. That is fantastic. If your video had been dragged out to 20-30 minutes, I would never have watched it. Keep up the good work, man...this was great! Jesus bless.

A friend showed me a quicker way years ago and it works quiet well. Place your tire in front or back of you front tire on your vehicle, align the rubber only with your front wheel and drive upon the tire slowly. This will also break the tire from the wheel. Works great for small wheels also. Try it, you might like it. Enjoyed watching your idea.

I changed my tire watching and learning from you. Thanks alot❤❤

Mad respect bro! I knew you was gonna use a vehicle from the start, I just didn't know it was gonna be so slick! Thanks bro!

Just how I learned from my pops back in 1969.. Great job

@ the 3:50 mark I struggled...but I got it. You did a great job showing us how it's done. Thanks for posting.
