I bought a beadbreaker from Nac's Racing and it works like a charm. I wouldn't sell it for nothing if I knew I could never buy another one. Two people can break down one tire in 1-2 minutes. That's just breaking the bead, not getting the tire off the wheel. They are real nice. I use to use a handyman jack and a truck bumper. I'll never do that again.

Running them over with a truck won't work on stockers. We had the same problem this week. We drove my dads F-150 over the tire and the bead still didn't break. We had to take them to our local shop, but still got a good deal. It cost $20 to have them take the old off and put 4 new back on.

My moms astro van wouldn't get my Razrs off of my rims. And they are aftermarket, not stock rims!! Your best bet would be to take it in, or find someone you know who owns or works at a place with a machine. Try the car trick, you might get lucky. If they are some old crappy stock tires, cut them off with a chain saw:D

I took my first set to work, used the tire machine to break the beads, then cut the tire off with a sawz-all. And put the new tires on at home. After that I decided from now on I buy all my tires at Les Schwab, I pay about the same as I would with shipping from anyplace online and they mount them for free, including new valve stems.

Honestly, they aint worth ****in with.;)

I've been changing stock, aftermarket, etc with my truck for 17 yrs so don't tell me it dont work! It works for me everytime and i dont think we are buying diferent tires.

Take it to a shop, save yourself a day, pinched/cut fingers and lots of swearing and pay the $20-$50 to get them done in a few minutes. It is hilarious at work to see all the tires that come in that people have messed with. I have seen things like chipped up rims, bent rims, cut up tires, and pissed off looking customers when they watch me use that handy tire machine at work. :)

Yeah, and when you finnaly do get the stock tires off...the metal in the bead is all bent up....and they wont hold air anymore...so you cant even use them as a spare. That was all one sentence.:devil:
