    The tire he removed was balder than Kojak. Back tires matter.

    I had a guy down here that would change them for about $5 bucks, but we recently had a blowout.

    Believe it or not, but I have been changing ATV, trailer and truck/car tires for about 4 years now with a $45 manual tire changer from Harbor Freight. I think the biggest point with this tool is that I have it bolted to the floor of my shop. I have yet to run into a ATV tire I cannot get off the bead. I did find out that trying to seat the beads of new tires when it is 10 - degrees outside is very challenging! Rubber does not want to stretch at that temp!

    x2 - worth every penny. I reinforced/boxed the bead breaker shoe so I could really put some weight on it. I put some anchors in my floor and only bolt the tire tool down when I need it and put it on a shelf out of hte way the other 363 days of the year...

    Lots better ways to seat a bead than carb cleaner or starting fluid..............
