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 causes the inside of the tire to fall inward making the bead part 4" wide going onto a 12"rim. I could not get the tire to expand enough to meet the rim. I used everything straps, tire changer and both. I have never had that much trouble. I found that if I put the 2" strap on the tire and used the starting fluid after about after 2 cans I could get it to seat. I dont know if every one has this much trouble but I doubt it. It was a long day and I just needed to vent.</p></blockquote><p></p>
