Or, a piece of wood and drive onto it!!

I tried this once but it still didn't come off the rim.  :twisted: I gave the tyre and rim to a mate to take to a place to remove it for him as he wanted the tyres! :lol:

saw a guy replace a hgv tyre on Tuesday. all he had ws 2 big bar things and his beer belly! He did it faster than a car tyre!

I used to fit commercial tyres when i was a fitter. This is true. The larger the rim and profile of the tyre, the easier to fit. They have more flex in the carcass. And generally go where you want them to.

My mate has one of these. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RED-MANUAL-TYRE-CHANGER-STEEL-C-W-BEAD-BREAKER-TYRE-BAR_W0QQitemZ190199188160QQihZ009QQcategoryZ30917QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

He has put 4 rawl bolts in the drive. Just bolts it down when he uses it.

I did 8 changes in under an hour with it.

If you have a highlift, you don't need a bead breaker or any attachment for the highlift, just something heavy to jack it up against. fixed many, many punctures using that method
