changing tires

[321racer]

i have always got my tires changed by someone else but that started getting expensive paying for someone to mount the tires everytime....
i bought a beadbreaker and it is such a pain to get the tire off the rim.

any suggestions on how to make it easier?
thanks

Soap up the edge of the rim really well. Should make it easier to slip off; and on for that matter.

You can always remove the valve stem insert and run over the tire (not the rim) with your car.

:huh

It does work!!

Just get two big screwdrivers, or two of the tire tools and start with one, then use the other to work your way around. Getting them off if fairly easy, it's putting them on I hate.
