Swapping tyres at home
william127:
i tryed to take a load of bald tyres off their rims last year, broke the bead no problems with a highlift and a tractor, but no way could i get them off after that, even with 5 footlevers. kwickfit change, balance and fit em back on the truck for a tenner each if you pay in the correct way :wink: thats where ill get mine done next time
bombx3:
i take the valves out then drive in a circle that breaks the bead easy as pie

And a good chance of wrecking the tyre walls!!!

couldn't agree more the lads at the local quickfit are on crap money
and with the credit crunch are allways skint
I pay a fiver ballanced with a new valve ( cash in hand)
and there allways pleased to see me
plus when you price up tyres for the mrs runabout I get a great deal
