Taking them off the rim was the biggest part of the time. The tires that where shipped to me had been laying on there side for god knows how long. That...

Earthwerks, I’m sorry I didn’t realize that is was improper to start another thread on putting tires on. My last thread was about recommendations for what kind of tires to buy, not how I had trouble putting them on. It took 9 hours because the tires that had to come off where industrial 16 ply...
