I've been told in the past to watch out for this too but never had any issues with sliding.

C'mon guys help an idiot out here. Are you saying the manufacturer put a releasing agent on the tire or is it the tire installer telling you to be careful because they sprayed shit on the tire to get it on and were to busy to wipe it off?I've been told in the past to watch out for this too but never had any issues with sliding.
We need Micketoo to chime in here. He works for Cooper Tire that now owns Avon to give us the real scoop.C'mon guys help an idiot out here. Are you saying the manufacturer put a releasing agent on the tire or is it the tire installer telling you to be careful because they sprayed shit on the tire to get it on and were to busy to wipe it off?

Okay got it, I suppose it could be an issue depending on the tire manufacturer I didn't see that as an issue on these particular Avon tires. Of course if you take it out right after the install in the rain then sure????

Good point ... yea I guess I could have bought a tire machine ,how much are they? ..I wish we lived closer ..a bit of trading hmmm , really I need a bigger garage !!! I was not smartin off ether just wishin my ridin buds had one of these ...coolScuba, I don't have a motorcycle lift just a jack, and the tire machine and lift are about the same cost. With my cars and my kids cars and family and friends buying tires from Tire Rack I've changed over 200 tires in the last 3 yrs. I'm not smartin off but just saying you have to pick and choose your tools for your needs.
I would love to get a lift but I could use a spin balancer more often.
What creative use of the half tire rounds did you come up with ??? :lol:

Great How to kapn..:2thumbs:
Yesterday I put on the rear tire. I used 2 - 15" tire irons and two rims savers. I think having 3 tire irons n 3 rim savers would have made the job easier.
I saw this idea on the internet for making a tire bead beaker and it worked great taking the tire off and helping hold the side wall down while putting the tire on. I removed and installed the tire without any help. With that in mind I thought it would be an excellent addition to Kap's How To....

I took at 2x4 and lag bolted a 2.5' extension at the third point. The bottom of the extension I cut at 22 degrees. I was able to remove and install the tire without any help.

I just want to extend my appreciation for taking the time to share your knowledge on this issue. Though i am new to this board, i am not new to the value they hold. I know it takes more time than anticipated to put a thread together containing the information this one does. I joined this particular board today. I also know the value of the search button. So in less than 5 min. I joined the board, hit the search button, and discover why in the hell i am having a hard time getting my back tire off my pitbull. Hoping to have this project done 2 days ago...maybe it will happen today.
