Topic: Cool way to remove tire?

[DH]

Modern tire machines go a long way to make it possible to mount and dis mount without marking the wheel. With a good operator, it's worth the extra bucks to not mess with it. at least that's been my experience so far, CB AND CBR 600. I've worried about wheel marring too, but thankfully, I can't find any. I don't know if I'd patch a speed rated sport bike tire like the guy was planning tho. Only if it were temporary.

I done tires on my jeep more times than I care to remember; hardest part to brake the bead.

I used to run an old mack tip truck in the mid to late 80s,i always did my own puncture repairs road side,it had split rims and tubes though so not so hard,still gotta break that bead,i had a home made heavy breaker slam tube and all that #$%* on board,boy I don't miss them days,i can remember doing one in front of a pub with blokes sitting drinking beer and watching me,no #$%* offered to help.

Ha, thats a different league.   My jeep has 31" tires.

Split rims, arent they illegal now?

[dave500]

not here in Australia,hell we even have split days off/split hairs and we split the difference.

And you start your day every morning with nice, full split
