I just started a job as a commercial tire service tech this week. I was somewhat familiar about what a drop center is, but I watched some of your videos this past weekend and really paid attention to the tips you give. When you mentioned to know which bead to break first you said "the side of rim that is most narrow to the drop center." I engrained that in my head, and when they asked me about what a drop center is at work and which side to break first... they were already impressed when I knew! Thank you man!

Big credit for making it look easy , dude looks strong as f for one thing but I have to say there is a big difference in how tight a brand new 19.5 is versus a completely bald worn in loose 19.5. So for those watching that are getting down on themselves for how much easier this might look compared to your efforts, don’t. Keep at it.

It takes tough people to do tires manually like that.its tougher then you did it if you do not do it everyday because it's a special technique.

Great upload… my grandfather taught me this, I’ve changed a lot of tires in his garage by hand!

I see what I've doing wrong all this time! I've been trying to use a tire machine, when all the time all I needed was a crowbar and a spoon!

small truck tires and passenger tires i have changed with the wrong tools myself when i was younger. Never knew those big truck tires were that easy to change. Thanks for the informational video

I have changed my tyres fo years and I only use levers I have expensive levers I have bought and some I have made and modified myself and the ones I have made I’m more comfortable with than the ones I bought conider a lot of my tyre fitting is on the side of the road in the Australian desert where you could change a couple of pallets of tyres to do a run hence why I use soap 2 levers and a hammer to get the job done the system works for you good job mate

Thanks for your videos great help and info

I really enjoyed that. I like to change my own tires!

Spring leafs from a boat trailer or similar spring make good tire tools you can even weld on an extension if you want.

You made it look easy. :)

Jonathan, great video as always. Any updates on the rotating wrecker? I've following that build from the start, it's going to be an awesome unit

Thanks heaps for the info

Nice video! " if you got the right tools and are younger it's easier " LOL very true

Jonathan do you ever get angry? lol you seam to be the mellowest person in the world. I've watched most of your vids and your alway the same. I wish i.lived by you. I love to hang out and build things with you because you do it just like I do. but I'm too old n gimpy to work anymore. I just play now. good luck.

Hey Jonathan, Ya left out the best part ! (ya know, the part where ya spray ether in the tire ans light it off to inflate the tire !!! ) ~ LOL

Jonathan, Have you finished the "Deming Water Pump To Steam Engine pt12". I would love to see the finish.

Hey Jonathan, how does one tell what direction to put on a used tire? Does it matter? Hell you made it look easy, even with your "wrong" tools. Stay safe man.

looks like you got your money's worth out of that one. Maybe the quote of the year. "Maybe if you are younger it is easier." man that is the truth I enjoy your videos. You planning another of those one day rat rod builds again? I thought that looked real fun

Bruh.. I started my shift at 3pm, supposed to get off at 11pm. We get a road service at 6pm an hour away and I was there from 8-3am dealing with something you made look so simple..... took me 4 tire bars to even mount it on the rim.

I remember watching the tire guy wrestling those all day You don't balance then right? The shop had a balancer for 19.5s but they never did it. Factory they were balanced. Did the price come down on 19.5s, Those things were close to 500 a piece for non chinese tires. The cheap place I worked for always put the Chinese shakers on that blew up in no time.

I love using ether to pop em back on the bead. I watched a damn dummy one time use gas and it worked but it kept on burning and ended up burning the whole damn tire I still give him he'll about that lol

that looks a lot easier than these little lawn mower tires,, I haven't found an easy way to change them yet,, and new 12" trailer tires shipped from China are so scrunched together, they are very hard to even get inflated once you get them on the rims..

3 a.m. and I'm watching a dude change a tire.

I got a tire road call and im struggin like shit to put this 19.5 back on rim. Shit keeps spinnin me in a cirle

How do you put the valve stem on?

That tire you took off still had life left in it lol. I always seemed to poke myself with a cord when the caps come off

drop center my dude

Xln't job Jonathan. However, if I might add, be way careful when inflating those bad boys. I had a friend that didn't put a truck tire in a steel cage. It exploded and killed him. He worked for Firestone and had 30 years experience in changing tires. Tires don't respect experience.

Ya did a fine job chang'n that tire, Ya want a job? Just kidd'n with ya. ; )

that mean greens has alot of bleach watch your clothes

This isn't a 19.5, ,but good video

of all the tires i have dealt with i dislike 19.5 the most. to low profile
