I had tire changing fun today also. Noticed a pulse with the truck and trailer yesterday morning going to finish a job. Loaded the tractor and went to go home the 17 miles and the vibration was really bad and the rear ramp was shaking like crazy. Took a look and sure enough some major problems with the belts in the tire as it was egg shaped. Went to change it, but the nuts were too tight for my wrench so I limped home taking the backroads.

Put on the last tire I had in my stash, so was checking CL for more used tires and ran across a set of ST tires the size needed for my dump trailer, so had to go grab those...then proceeded to change them out as the originals are falling apart. I figured out a new way to get that last bead off the rim, I lay it rim up, use a spoon to start the process, then use a long round tool with the chisel end to slide along the bead area of the rim, push it as far as I can into the tire bead, rotate and pull down as it grabs the rim...do this a couple of times and the rim can be pulled off the tire. Seems awkward at first, but after I got the motion down it was pretty easy.
