DIY tyre removers...........
skip:
Definatley need to be careful with tyre levers. A friend of mine got one wedged in his eye socket. It burst his eyeball, a trip to hospital sorted him out but it's never been the same since.
Still it hasn't put me off doing tyre by hand.

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!

Abyone know what the expiry age or shalf life of a tyre is?
After a certain age they are not allowed to fit them I'm told (tyre places that is).
