I tried to swap some 19.5 truck tires the other day. I did the first one and then gave up and took the other 3 to the truck/tractor tire place. It literally took those guys 10 minutes to do the other 3(and cost me $75). That's the first time I've messed with 19.5's. I've got a truck with 22.5 and a couple skid steers with 16.5s. I've got a few buddies with trucks with the 22.5 and 24.5 tires also.
I've come to the conclusion that I need some real tire irons. I'm wondering what you all use as far as length and style.
I can get this pair of 52" kentool on ebay. They really aren't much more than buying the shorter 36 or 42" irons. Is there such a thing as too long? I'd guess the ones my tire guys used were either 40 or 50".
I've also watched them use a tool like this on semi tires. Really worked slick to dismount. Seller claims it will work down to 17.5" tires. Anybody use one?
Lastly, tire lube. They wet the tires down with lube out of a squirt bottle to dismount. Then they use a grease of some sort on the bead to mount. They can actually get the first bead over the rim just by dropping the tire on it sometimes. I'm thinking that the lube is really the key here. Any specific brand or type that works better?
