One other tip, too make the tire more flexible leave the tire out in the sun when you pull the tire off the rim. A cold rubber is much stiffer and a warm to hot tire is very good. On the tire and beating the tire off, we use a long screw drive with a cheater for more leverage. A good video fwiw

This is the kind of thing KZfaq was created for. Well done my friend, passing on the knowledge 👍🍻

Not only does this save money, it teaches you how to fix the problem by yourself! Knowledge is power!

As a dad with 2 sons and 2 daughters, every penny I save is better spent on them PLUS, doing things like this with my kids is priceless.. GREAT video and looking forward to many more.

I've been changing my dirt bike & dual-sport tires for years, but I thought the smaller-diameter ATV tires would be a PITA. You made it look like something I can handle. I figure I'll give it a shot. Like you said, the drive to & from getting them mounted takes a while. Your bead-braking method is priceless. Thanks for taking the time to share your skills & knowledge with us. 👍👍

Dude, awesome vid!!! Not only very helpful as I'm about to do a tire swap on all four for my quad, but it totally appreciate the closing sentiment of this vid!!! Rock on and thumbs up!!!

I can remember back in the day changing car tires the same exact way. Thanks for sharing my friend.

Alright froggy fresh. We know it's you. Baddest rapper alive

“And so I pretend, almost like I’m a tire machine.” Best line of the video!! I liked you rationale at the end. Nice job!!

Congrats on reaching 1,000 subs btw! It’s a great feeling!

Just like I did, my son will change a dozen tires before he drives a truck. Good video Farm Dad, I like the beginning with the boys on the 4 wheeler!

THANK YOU!!! My husband was going nuts trying to get a new mower tire on and I was while trying to help him! Your video was the most helpful by far!!!

I paid $112 just for mounting 4 tires last week.... but got some new rims at a garage sale and going to stud my old tires for ice fishing/winter. Gunna give it a go in my garage this time! Thanks 😊

I've been watching KZfaq for more then a decade and I can recognize a good video maker when I see one. You sir did an excellent job, Liked and subscribed.

You show how to remove and fix the wheel really well, very simple.

Time and cost saved, but also skill learned. I bought a set of 3 tire spoons that also came with new valve cores and caps for $25. Called a few tire shops and they all wanted $75-100 to mount all 4. That’s not even to unmount and dispose of the old rubber. I also wanted to clean up my old steelies and give them a fresh coat of paint.

Very well done! Saved me a bunch of time! One thing, I broke the bead with a large C Clamp. Worked great!

I did your trick for breaking the bead on my garden tractor tire with a 2x6 and my car. It worked like a champ! I fought with other ones for hours trying to break the bead with a bench vise and a spud bar. Thank you so much for this.

You make good points! Changing your own tires saves money and time, and can be fun (unless you're working on an extra stubborn wheel). Either way, it's good experience to have under your belt.

This was a timely find...I've got 4 ATV tires to dismount and mount. Wish me luck!

Great video straight and to the point no bragging or talking for a hour just doing the task at hand and explaining it clearly Awesome I have tires coming this week and want to change them my self this will deff help me thank u sir

What I loved about this video: Mentioned the simple tools we can use if we have them, then proceeded to show us the hard way if we don't. Never once heard a word of frustration - I know I have when using screwdrivers on my mower tires... Honest response at the end. What I didn't like: Nothing. Great video man! You've got another subscriber! Looking forward to other tips that I know will help me!

Very helpful. Changed my first tire ever and you showed how to do it at home, with no special tools. You wasted nobody's time. thanks!

You my friend are a tire machine! That's how it's done. Money saved is money earned. When you learn to do those kinds of things the old fashioned way you don't take it for granted. I broke down and bought one of the mini tire changers for my business and let me tell you I appreciate it more than I can express after doing it the old way so often.

I've got a friend who once worked in a tire shop for a long time. I swear he could take off and remount any tire with not much more than a Popsicle stick! Like you, he puts his entire weight and whole body into the project. My dad ran a service station for a long time and I watched the guys fix flats all the time. After watching people like you and those guys make it look easy, which I know it really isn't, I am tempted to give it a try myself! I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing it.

Why is this guy reminding me of Lynyrd Skynrd . Sweet home tire removal.

Thanks for taking the time making the video. Good to see you helping others get things done.The DIY way.

Thanks for this tip...............saved me so much time and worked great. Not all tire shops can change these avt tires so this is forever in my toolbox of short cuts. Thanks.

Love the video man.. wise man once said “why pay someone to do it for you when you can do it yourself. “ 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Dude, you are a tire machine!! Rock on....

Very nice! I'm needing 4 new tires for my mule and just might order them off the internet and try mounting them myself. Thanks and take care.

Huge help, guy down the street tried charging me $200 for this. I said I can do that myself in a 2 hours. Then I watched this video and got it down in a hour, big dog!

Quick tip: To put a lot of air into your tire with the valve stem removed, push the quick connect on the end of your air hose onto the valve stem of the rim and get a whole lot more air to bead seen the tire on the rim. When both beads are pop'ed on remove the quick connect from the valve stem and insert the and insert the valve into the stem them air up to the desired pressure using an air chuck on your air hose. Your welcome !

Dude that was awesome. I did learn something knew i could have used 30 years ago. The other car to brake the bead, smart. Loved it, thank you. HH James

This was the best way I have found to remove a tire and put it back on. Thanks!

Thanks for the video, really helped me changed 2 tires. I used a bobcat to drive on the tires to unseat the bead, worked great. Also I have a stove in my shop and I put new tires in front of the blower , turning tires around periodically, the heat really help the stiff tires loosen up a bit. Took no time to mount after they heated up. I would recommend replacing the valve stems, you don't want to mount a new tire only to discover after that the old stem is no good.

Thanks for reminding me why I pay a shop to do this. Lol. Great video brother but too much effort for me hahahahahaha

You missed the opportunity to sit in the waiting area of a tire shop for an eternity and a free cup of coffee that tastes like rubber.

Your video was really helpful everything you said was true about having to take it to a dealer. I checked on a set of tires for my fourtrax 300 and the price he gave me I went on line an bought them, so by the time I would have had to load, drive and wait to get serviced it adds up. I did it myself in an hour or less. Great video!!👍🏻

Nicely done FD. Always good to see a member of the BBN. Take care.

I am single mom who has NEVER CHANGED Fk'in mower tire So if I can do this I will DEFINITELY subbed

His wife must be really old if his dad used her car in the 70s

Out-freakin-standing! After watching this, I'm dragging my son into the garage this saturday to put the new tires on his quad. He should learn this, too.

Great video!! Especially liked the commentary at the end of the video about why you change them yourself. People think I'm just a tight ass but there is enjoyment in being able to do things for yourself!!

not included.. the 6 pack to celebrate after!

That was great. However you convinced me I don’t want to do it myself. My 70 year old body says no no no.

Love this down to earth video. My dad and I used to change his tires on his pickup truck and car the same way. We used to break the bead by putting our heels and pressing up and down, that was in the early 50's, it worked then. Your way of breaking the beads with your wife's car is the only way to go. Thanks for being honest. God Bless...

Thank you for a great video!! There is nothing like doing as many things you can do/build your self and feel proud!!

I always change my own tires, taking stuff to the shop when you can do it yourself, is for women and millennials.

Your little speech at the end was the best part of this video!

Thanks for the tip just used it to change a tire on my lawn tractor worked like a charm 👍🏼

Great video man. Did the same thing today and wish I saw this video first. Had to learn while doing. And don’t forget that loads of garages can’t mount such small tyres. That’s why I had to do mine by hand.

Excellent video for the common guy with simple tools. Working from the shallow side made all the difference. One more benefit is the satisfaction of doing it yourself. It is fun.

This was perfect.! All the places I called wanted $25-$45 each tire the tires would cost me less that for someone to put them on so truck and some tools helped me pull me off thanks for a great vid.

I mount semi truck tires by hand for work and I still loved and learned from. Your vid. Thank u

Fantastic video and really appreciate your humble commentary.

Great Video! Cheers for the tips on bead breaking! I ended up having to cut a semi circle on the end of a length 6”x2” and it did the trick! 4 new tyres now on my kids Yamaha Quad bike. Cheers from Scotland

Yep, this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I'm subbing. This is great. and you're absolutely right. You save way more when you live out in the sticks doing things yourself!

How awesome! I appreciate you showing this!

Legit!! I know out in WYO, they charge $20/tire. I’d rather have $160 for more fuel OR ammo vs paying to have that done on 2 ATVs. Plus, it’s great to get the kids involved so they realize that the toys need maintenance and it isn’t all fun and games to own them. There is responsibility too.

I appreciated this video a lot. I have NEVER subscribed to any other but I've hit your button. Because you were sincere and humble and clever and handy. Spoken very easy to understand.and got skills and talent . I know any little deviation from his plan leads to frustration blood sweat and tears and more time.

Way to go. I have changed a few this way but needed a refresher. Gets a little harder when you're 72. Headed back out to pull the rim off the mower and put the last side on. Only thing to add is that if you have problems with the tire slipping around, use a vise grip on the rim flange to keep it from rotating while you are trying to mount it slowly and prying little bits in just like he showed. Pretty smart and you can tell he is a thinker when thing don't go quite like planned.

This really helped me change golf cart tires. I used a bunch of dish soap for lubricant also which made it even easier. Thanks man!!

Thanks loads Farm Dad. I was ready to give up but after seeing ur video, I tackled the job. It wasn't easy but it sure worked in the end. Thanks much!

You are awesome, straight to the point and I love your attitude. Just get down and do the job.

Great vid. Thx. Farm Dad. I'm doing this same job on Saturday.

You're the man. I keep coming back to this video for your tips. Always helps me out

You had me at drift boat farm dad! Definitely going to tackle my ATV tire changing task tomorrow. Thanks for the video!

You got a like and a sub from me! I spent over an hour trying to do my tires, watched your video and had both off and the new tires on in 20 minutes! You're the man!!

Looked at All the videos on changing an ATV tire and yours is by far the BEST! On my channel I am restoring a 1983 Honda ATC 185s and your video saved me so much time. Thank you JT

Thanks for the video bro! People can say what they want, but who in the hell wants to take the tire off, drive to some place, wait forever for them to mount it, drive all the way back home, then finally install it. I'm with you 100%. I rather do it in the garage

Well I know where and who I'm bringing my SxS to for the next tire change!! Can I bring my horse by as well?! Great job , that was awesome!

So true about it taking time to take them in. It's at least an hour in the truck round trip, plus waiting on them to do it. Faster to just do it myself.

Thank you sir just got the same new tires for my golf cat yesterday. Going to put them on right now. Thank you

Thanx brother .. helped a lot . Nothing beats a sweaty garage then paying 20$ when we can just do it our self thanks again for the help .. all the sweat was worth it

Dude, thank you so much for the awesome video, definitely subscribing, was nervous about trying to mount some new tires on my sons atv, I have never done it before but with a little youtube searching, I'm more confident I can get it done, thanks again brother!

I liked the ending when you were explaining why you do it yourself 😆😆 , I mount mine too and don't even like talking to tire or mechanic shops. .they all got huge huge chips on shoulder ,good video 👍

Thank you for the video. I glanced at your other topics and being an elderly woman on a ranch, it looks like i will we watching your videos frequently.

Thanks I just got my new four wheeler and I wanted newer tires awesome job keep up the good work!!!

Good point on it being a fun job. Clean not messy jobs are my favorite

We always change our own tires and your vid was both familiar and helpful.

Real advice from someone who has real experience! Great video

Nice video, had to do that a few times when i was young, now I bring them in, lol

Thanks! Gave me just enough info to give it a go for the first time…on two front ATV tires… 😎

you mentioned using a piece of wood and drive up on it.. I was too lazy to drag a piece of wood and the tire out to my car, so I used an old 4x4 post on the tire and stood on it to break the bead. glad my beerbelly weight was finally put to good use, no car needed =)

Dude, I knocked him out with your help. Thank you! The one thing I did do wrong I must’ve missed in your video, was making sure that I started on the shallow end of the wheel where the bead would fall down in the center of the well the low part, if you will.I tried the other way with the deep well by accident and it was horrible. Took me one minute when I got smart enough to turn it around. Lol thanks again.

This was very helpful, thanks!

Great video! I'm going to tackle this job on all 4 wheels on my can am outlander.

omg ty so much... was starting to think I was crazy watching all these people just slip tires on... This vid finally got me there!

I'm a SWF at 59 years old, thank you! I appreciate you showing that is a tough job, but SO worth being able to do things myself! Appreciate it

This was incredible! I am about to change my first tire on my Honda! Thanks for the help.

Thanks Farm Dad, you just got another sub. I like a simple, practical solution to a problem. I have a John Deere E180 garden tractor, mower, whatever. I live in a rural Northern California county where burrs and stickers are a certifiable pain in the rear when they constantly get stuck in my tires. Your procedure works for me since it looks like you've been digging in my tool box. I have an old Snap-on pry bar (it looks like a 2' flat blade with a bent nose) and another long screwdriver that will work just fine. I'm planning to pull both front tires, to start with, and put tubes in them. The extra thickness should help keeping stickers from getting through. I have some of that "slime" to seal tires but I'd really rather not use it. That's just a mess if you ever have to pull that tire in the future. Oh, I have an old heat gun (industrial hair-dryer) that should warm up the tire pretty well. That's another good idea from one of your viewers... keep the good stuff comin'!! Thanks for a very worthwhile video. 👍 -Gary

Thanks for this video , I was wondering if it could be done from home, . I have 4 to do on my Quad and thanks to you I will do them at home. I always did my own on my pick up the same way you did those. Everybody was telling me it could not be done, but you just proved them wrong. As you said a little bit of time and elbow grease will do it and be satisfied by doing your own Thanks Roger B

You are awesome! Thank you!!! Also the amount of pride adds into the cost savings too.

dude. great video. i can’t believe i did it all by myself. very helpful video!

Awesome video, thanks, next time I buy new tires I am going to try your method, thanks again.

Excellent video! Very helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for the vid! Turned out to be alot easier than i thought it would. And saved me some time and money.

Very helpful video. This made my day so much easier. Thank you.

Very handy skills to have. Thanks for sharing. 👍😊
