Dang.. did the job in 3 minutes... 2 flathead screwdrivers... The old original tire feels like it's plastic crap??
Cool .
The larger tires are generally going to be easier to work with anyways, because of the larger sidewalls ect.
I don't like using screw drivers for a few reasons....
One, you can damage the tire & rims real easy.
Two,, they are ''not'' meant to be used as pry bars, & can snap ect..
Three,,, they can impale/gouge the tire ''plus'' your ''hands'' ect. very easy.
Four,,,, Because of the narrow width of them, when prying,, they can cause the cords ect. of the tires to get distorted easy around the lips,, which puts them out of round & creates problems in sealing.
I use a 24' tire bar from Harbor freight, ''like the one Mr. Pink uses'' , that is ''cut in half'', & tapered & smoothed out on those cut ends,, works real slick.
