At the risk of ridicule. I just ordered Razrs. What is the best procedure for installing tires on stock rims, do you need a pry bar? Silicone spray? Ratchet strap? Sorry, never done this before. :(
Thanks.

If you do a search, you'll find that it is extremly difficult to break the bead on stock rims. Most people can't do it. They have tried running them over with a truck, pry bars, etc. If your not going to keep your stock tires, just cut them off. If you want to keep them, then most everyone will suggust you bring them to a car shop and have them put them on. It will cost you a couple of bucks, but save a lot of aggravation. IMO

Will an atv shop's bead breaker work? I've used my bud's (arctic cat dealer) on beadlocks, but not on stockers.

i backed a truck onto mine really close to the rim and put a towel over the rim and pryed it off. i didn't think it was that hard!
