Aen't worth the effort. Get it done. They have all the equipment and will do it pronto. You got calcium in there? If yes, get it done, can be a real mess.

I struggled with them in the past and I had a lot of success with a spade prybar. Looks like a 4inch X 8inch X 3/8in thick ice chopper blade welded on the end of a 4ft steel rod. This breaks the bead and wedges under the tire rim to pry it off.

I break those tractor tire beads by driving over the tire with another tractor. However, depending on how rusty the rims are on the inside, this may not always work. Sometimes those tires beads are really rusted to the rim and best to take to a tire dealer. I just did an H that way and a Cub a couple weeks ago. Getting the tires off the rims is another story, especially if the tires are old and hard. Roger

if your rims are on a super m it is almost a sure bet that they are eleven inches not twelve. rims are measured inside where the beads set.

As Randy said if you do have 11 inch rims you are going to have a risky tire mount with the 15.5's. I have gotten away with 3 inches of difference, but 4 inches will make it look like a wedge. I would get a bigger rim and leave those mounted and sell or trade them them.

Best way and safest way to do it is with a tire hammer. Or if you not sure how to do it be safe and take them to a tire dealer doing tires can be deadly

I have a manual bead breaker that you drive into the bead, then rattle it down with an impact, then start sweating with tire irons. Skid loader is super if you"re careful, I learned that the hard way. Bead breaker is only $150.

My Dad destroyed a brand new set of 15.5-38 tires in one afternoon of plowing because he had them installed on 12 0r 13" rims. The tires looked like a mouse had chewed them up. The tire dealer came out the next day with 14" rims and installed another new set of the same tire and they,re still on that tractor today 40 yrs later. The 15.5-38 is a low profile tire that needs the 14" rim to work properly.

I use a skidsteer to break the beads, then lots of sweat with pry bars and tire irons.
