Go to a Walmart, should be about 5 bucks.

When I got my wheels powdercoated, I took all 4 up to Discount tire. They charged me $10 to pull the tires off all 4 wheels.

i called multiple motorsports places around me and car repair shops. they all wanted between 20-35 dollars per tire yes per tire. so i used wire cutters then a dremmel to get the bead as we did on an old blaster. i put the new tires on the rim with a ratchet cargo strap thing that u crank. i put about 80 psi in the damn tire and the bead wont set!!!!!!! on both sides its about there but just a section wont set on. help???/

Harbor Freight has a bead breaker for about $80. Four tires and it has paid for itself. I used a buddies and it worked great.
That and two or three big screw drivers or pry bars and you can get the job done...

Have you ever thought to ask what they would charge just to break the beads????

did you put some dishliquid on it? i just cant beleve that it didnt set if there was about 80psi mine was around 35psi

if you let out most of the air out of the tires and do it carefully, you can drive on the tire with your car (carefully) to break the bead..just be careful not to scratch your rim or bend it somehow by driving on it..just get the car tire over atv tire..it will work to break beads for free
