I change my tires with a car jack, windex, zipties and brute force. No other tools. However after doing four changes I think I'm buying a set of irons.  ;D

Why not just cut the old tires off?
Not going to reuse them are you?
And then use the 6 or 8 bands like the tattooed leg guy video to put the tires on.
I've done 4 or 5 sets of tires like this.
But so you guys don't think I'm a true redneck, I do use a Marc Parnes wheel balancer...

So, you've cut a tire off?

Curious how you did it.

A hacksaw couldn't cut the bead when I tried. Best if cutting IMO is to use bolt cutters. But man, that's gonna be some work.

An abrasive cutoff wheel works as well but its a stinky process...

That's what I used, wedged a piece of wood between the tire and the wheel. Just do it slowly and carefully, you don't want to cut your wheel...

Very nice write up!!
Anticipate! Most "accidents" are predictable, and avoidable.
