This comment section sucks, all I see right now is people saying negative things for no reason at all. All you did was show a good method to put a tire on a rim if you don't have the tools. Hope these hating trolls get a life. Good video.👍

Meanwhile I'm losing the fight with this steering wheel cover 😓

Nicely done! I mount and balance my own, got tired of being dependent on other people, paying tire people to do it and usually waiting for hours. Couple of tire irons and the HF bubble balancer does wonders. I also pick up tire weights when I see them.

Being in the emergency tire repair tool business the number one rule is practice these techniques with the tires on your vehicle in the comfort of your garage/driveway. Every tire is slightly different due to design (ply rating, sidewall thickness, steel encased carcasses, load rating, etc). A load range "B" tire as shown in the video is VERY pliable and the sidewalls are very flexible. A E load range tire (especially a used tire where the rubber has hardened and lost its flexibility) may feel like a sheet of plywood. Again, practice with your tires in a controlled and safe environment and learn the idiosyncrasies of your tire and wheel combination. Tire mounting and dismounting is 85% technique.....this is something you cannot master reading a book or watching a video. Hands on practice is key and learn on the tire/wheel combinations you'll potentially need to do this to.

I remember my Dad and Brother changing tyres like this 40 years ago.

And without scratching your wheels! Bravo sir! Tire shops do not care if they damage your wheel, I will definitely be trying this on my next tire purchase...thank you!

Wonderful video, thanks. To all you bashers, wow! Spanky took the time to publish this to help us all. Now you attack him? WTF! This video title accurately describes "no tools". He did get the tire on the rim in less time that it would take to drive to the tire shop. It's clear the walk it on method does require a bit of patience. When you are removing the old tire, little care is needed as that tire is garbage. Roadside I have used any scrap found, then lowered the jack to use vehicle weight to press the bead free. I had a bull in a trailer once, there was a part of the trailer frame that was in perfect position. No I didn't have a spare rim, but I did carry a spare tire. If I had a spare rim, the spare tire would've been on it. You learn to carry a spare tire when you grow up very poor. My spare tire was not much better than the one that just failed. But I did get that onery bull to the auction just in time. And it was dead of winter. I stuck the tire under the hood while working on the old tire. I used antifreeze as lubricant. I had a half jug handy, but could've pulled it from the overflow reservoir. Another trick I found is to collect some motor oil, or tranny lube, from the dip stick. It takes several dips to get enough, but I only apply in that final area to help that. And there isn't a red or yellow dot on a used tire. He didn't say he was going to show you how to balance the tire, only how to get it on the rim. You can rotate as needed before you air it up. Side of road repairs are not to enable 80MPH travel, only to get you home or to the shop slowly. Balance is not a factor. For roadside inflation, or in the shop without power, I use the flammable spray trick to seat the bead and inflate without a pump. It just goes "POP!". Then blead a bit of pressure out as needed If you all want to bash this man for his video, why don't you show us how great your videos are.

That's so... old school and great! Thank you.

kicking on last part on was sweet move - Thanks

Not that I will ever do it but I have always wondered if this could be done without tools. You proved that it could be done. Well done, sir and thank you for posting the video.👍🏾

Others might not appreciate the insight but it’s as simple as “do you want to pay to mount new tires on new wheels or do it yourself?” Thank you, I will never forget the windex/soap combo now

Great strategy. I use the same thing except I use a set of crutches to focus all my weight in a precise spot.

From the UK that was great to watch no tools required

When I was a kid and had no money, we drive over the tire to break the bead. The last little bit where he's standing on the tire we also used a car. Very impressive after all the tires I mounted and remove never knew you could do that. .

NO tools. I had to check this out. Nice to see the whole tire on.

Very nicely done.

Nice! Now I want to see you take it off with no tools :)

Good job. I have put lots of tires on with large screwdrivers but have never tried this. You proved your point.

Absolutely some tires will go on easy like that, many will not.

like a pro, great job, thank you.

Bought a second hand pair that were brand new, front pair on the car were bald as a baby. Every tire shop booked up for two weeks out. This saved me tons of money, time, and nerves driving on the racing slicks in the snow, thank you!!!

Very impressive! Thank you for sharing that good information! I wouldn’t have thought that was possible, especially on a narrow wheel!👍

On a Sunday evening when nothing is open, this is how it gets done. Great video !!!

I can’t even get the lid off of the pickle jar! This guy’s a unit .

Great job showing others how it's possible to do on your own and save a few $ or stuck in a jam. I've done many different tire and wheel combinations both auto and motorcycle tires that have been very low profile and more difficult to do but entirely possible. My technique is also Windex which I always have on hand but what works wonders is leaving the tire out in the sun for a bit to really warm and soften them up. Goes on so much easier and I purchase a separate set of plastic trim tool kit that's has the plastic pry bars of different angles, hooks and sizes to make it scratch free installation.

Thank you for this good video! Straight to the point.

2 large flat-nose screwdrivers and a flat nail puller/pry bar do for me. My 78-year-old legs are difficult to use this way anymore. 😁

Excellent skill 👏👏👏

Worked like a charm.... Many thanks!

you're a genius, made it look so easy! Most videos are full of high end gadgets

use a racheting strap around the tire to force the beads on each side up against the rim...so you can fill it with air from regular air inflator

I'm impressed

As a motorist and a cyclist, I would never have believed that it is possible to mount an automobile tire without at least some big pry bars. I have had bicycle tires that could not be mounted without at least two tire levers (although that also has to do with the limited grip of my hands on a narrow section road tire). I did chuckle when it was suggested that this technique be used as a roadside repair. One hell of a cartridge inflator or portable compressor would be needed.

Impressive, even if a little niche. I'm glad to still have a full size spare.

Even though it's a small wheel, I love the technique. Thanks, Bro' for sharing.

That's awesome. Thanks for showing us what's possible! I feel more confident now that I can do this.

That was amazing!! Having done plenty of tire by hand, I respect your skill.

I have new tires and wheels for my ‘68 Mustang that I need to mount. I think I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the video! 🤙

Great video. I always wondered how I would do that without a tire shop. I'll never forget that !

Most guys under 30 cant even figure out how to pump their own gas, nevermind change some rubber on the side of the road😂

Brilliant. In the late '70s, I'd seal (or unseal) the bead with my car's front wheel.

When installing the second bead over the wheel , apply the rubber lubricant to the inside of the bead . Murphy’s Tire Soap works best !

thanks for sharing. Great video. Never new you could do this without tools

Good Spanky...I did it, it was not easy as yours, but I did. Even thoughI had to use a lever i got it. Good explanation. Blessings.... 😮

bro....slow clap!! That was solid! What do you weigh?

It depends a lot on the tire composition and size. Not all tires and sizes will fit in by just stepping on them

Amazing!! I did t think it was possible! Thanks for saving me hands of dollars!

You are the Man. Thanks for sharing.

Well done, great show. Good luck.

I`m 82 yo and at 16 yo i was taught to fit car tyre`s the same way, the reason was, you can damage the tyre seals or even the wheel rims.

Absolutely amazing. Like you say, an emergency in nowhere with two parts, and no mounting. The air inflation device would be next.

Totally badass! And very very much great info to have cuz you never know what kind of situation you might end up in.

Wow.. no tools needed. Got to remember that..👍👍

I'm impressed!

My van disagrees. But it has 8 ply commercials on it, I struggled even with manual tools (levers). Very firm walls and beads.

You are bloody amazing buddy thanks

Nice work my friend. France

Amazing work thanks man 👍

Both my patellas slipped just watching this

Done in seconds. All 120 of them. Fun fact: I finished college in seconds.

Brilliant.

Thank You! It works like a charm!

Great job. Congrats!

I have done this with my bikes but never tried to my car wheels thx for the video i will do it, im 46, old school guy too 😂

Remember doing beads on semi tractor trailer split rims with starting fluid and a match? lol I was 14 doing things that way.

Cool will have to give it a try, thanks for posting

Really wish the guy who recently had done this very thing, (but not as easy as above!) Wish he'd seen this video BEFORE they attempted it on my tire w/ the rim! Thabks for the video! Really appreciate the 😊👍

I used to do my own motorcycle wheels after Alamo Cycleplex gave me a dri-roted front tire and then charged me to replace it when it went flat after I left the dealer. This method does work. I used the Windex with dawn soap mixed in. You can also remove the tire with enough pulling but the hand tools help. Get high pressure air into it fast enough to bead it on is another story.

Thank you that’s really useful !

WOW AND THE PRIZE OF THE YEAR FOR BEST VIDEO 2023 GOES TO YOU SIR!!!! Well done i loved it. Man is the best way to not mess up tire and wheels, i always do it with screw drivers and times to times i make little dents on the wheels or some tiny cuts on the bead. I hate that. Trying save some bucks and i like the idea of be able to do things on my own like being prepared for SHTF scenarios

My son blew a tire on the interstate near a small town. Pulled into a Walmart parking lot at the exit and bought a tire. Somehow found a guy who drove up in a car and had a single tire tool. He replaced the tire in the WM parking lot in just a few minutes. I was surprised and impressed.

Well done and thanks.

Nice job!

Thank you. You are an Ace.👏👏👏

This was so helpful thanks!!! 🔥🔥🔥

wow , a non click bait video on youtube . 👍👍

I just found out Illinois, prohibits tire shops from putting new tires on rims 5 years old and older!!! So i'm doing it myself saving $25. .broke my bead by running my truck up on a 4' 4X4 placed near the rim at an angle. . Just fought with a hydraulic jack and a scissor jack for over an hour, squeezing the bead between my tire and the trailer hitch of my 92 ford pick up. It was an old mud grip that had been on the rim probably over 20 years. Had it off in 2 minutes using the 4x4. Tough ole SOB. Using your tips to put the new one back on. Thanks.

Works perfect for floppy sidewall beetle tires, and other small car tires with no real load rating. Works for small trailer tires, too. But it would be tough to do this with a larger, low profile sidewall tire or a truck tire. Nice work. Good to see how things get done.

Thanks for showing us how it’s done.

Got to have terrific balance and decent strength to do this, but looks very effective!

Bloody marvellous..cheers Mate.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm having GREAT difficulty imagining the chain of events that would result in me being "stranded in the middle of nowhere with no tools" with a rim and tyre that need to be mated. 🤔

Gdamn ..!. Theres some haters in this comment section...sheeeesh..! Good fella...!

We use to do this all this time on our trailer tires, works great. We have heavy duty air pumps too. Very easy.

You just gained yourself a new subscriber with this video. Great video!!!

My dad did this tire mount, I thought that's how it was done? But my dad did extra step more than you that helped. When he sprayed down the tire, he sprayed down the wheel as well. Helping over that last tight spot! One other trick that helps greatly is too heat up tire Infront of space heater. Getting rubber hot will be the ticket!

Wow very tricky, thanks ^^

Very nice. Thank you.

Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱👍

Would love to see you do this w my truck tires lol

Try that with a 4X4 BFG tire

Good stuff, thanks for the help 🔥

Damm, I am impressed! You probably have the touch. I could probably do it with a few choice words at the tire. Bu then, there is no guarantee.

Next video: removing a tire with your feet. 😁

impressive video - thanks

Great sir thanks for sharing

It sure helps to have polished alloy rims. Unlike mine lol.

You are amazing!!!

I'm going to attempt this in the spring when I have to mount new rear tires on my lawn tractor. I bought a pair yesterday and they're not all deformed like most of them are when you order them online. I picked mine up locally at tractor supply, so I think that I can pull this trick off with enough windex and balance.😄
