Can’t believe how in all of these videos these guys just slam the face of their wheels into to concrete!????

change title to " how to damage your wheel" lol

If ya hate ur rims and want to scratch it do this

Just did 17in lo pro today and on that HF changer and it was such a pain. Thanks for confirming that I was not the problem. I used tire irons to mount and had lots of trouble until I had my wife hold one in place while I used the other to mount. Also I had a little bead breaker clamp holding the tire in the valley below the bead ridge. And finally got it on.

I will have to demount and remount again later this week so to try to get the fancy part of the tool handle to mount, I went to Home Depot and got an 1 1/4 inch pipe (about 16 inches long) to try to get more turning force from leverage. Praying that it will work so I won’t have to use the tire irons again.

Thank you for this video.  I had a low profile tire, 18" also and it didn't want to go in as easily as the other tire mounting videos I've seen.  Thanks for explaining how it is important to get the bead on the center cavity.  Very hard to do on low profiles (because side walls are not as wide) and cannot get one end to stay down as I worked around; but the vice grips did the trick!!!  Other videos showed using 3 to 4 tire pry bars.  Then there was another video with multiple pry bars with kids helping hold the other pry bars to help the bead set in the cavity (gosh my daughters are still too young to help me).  And then this; wow, I never thought of using vice grips!!!  With 3 vice grips, I did use an extra pry bar to work my way.  That's ok because at least I didn't have to buy another special tools!  I also mounted with the rims upside down with mat pads cut to size and placed on my mounting plate.  All this prevented scratches on the outside rim while tire mounting and it worked since I noticed also that the my rim cavity had a slight offset towards the inside.  I suppose my alloy rims were really meant to be tire changed upside down.

Good job, those low profile tires are a pain in the butt to mount

God those poor rims

Appreciate the video... the key for me was to make sure you get the tire in the valley (off the grove) on the opposite side of where you pry it.

Nice video. I'm an experienced tire tech, yet this is like 5 times harder than those electric tire machines. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who struggled, and I agree, to be scratch free take it to a tire shop, bu

Damn!!! all this work to save under 20 bucks and scratching up your Rims, it would be cheaper to let Jose make that 15 bucks to dismount, and mount the tire😁👍

Hi thanks for this video you really got it figured it out, For me the red thing keeps slipping on stretched tires i will try gas

I have a floor machine like that, it is about 40 years old and has a lever to refit the tire the same way as demount. This way you did it is unnecessarily hard work, but the clamps are a good idea. I will try one next time.

Good job ppl complaining about him scratching his rim . Just use precautions to protect your personal wheel.

I feel like yours manual tire changer looks the same as mine, but mine is way less rigid. I bent that tool in half within 30 seconds of trying to de-bead the tire....

I appreciate your video man, put a whole in a tire before watching this video but after watching your video the other 3 went in the rim nicely, thanks for your tricks man I really appreciate it, don’t listen to the haters who don’t know how to do nothing

Appreciate the video.  I knew it was possible to do 17 and 18 low pro's on the HF changer.  A little more care and rubber pads could protect the wheel for sure.  Hell can't be worse than the shops i've been to.  You proved it could be done and thanks for that!  I"ll be doing my 17's and 18's now.  I just wonder how well the bubble balancer will work on these.

SMH....WOW

how to change tires as you are in a hangover

Thank you very much

Hey I need a used 16"truck tire
