Re: Installing tires on Rims
Seems to me unless you have a very smooth, likely new rims, spending ~$28:

Good friend at Deere used to mount the steer tires for JD Combines. He developed carpal tunnel real bad after about two years of doing like that guy in the video. |

Re: Installing tires on Rims
My rims were quite pitted and rough. Sanded them the best I could and gave them a good coat of por-15. They came out soomth and as slipery as snort on a door knob.

Re: Installing tires on Rims
There are various "tricks" that have been used to install tubed tires including garbage bags and zip ties, but the video below just uses common sense and some soapy water and it worked fine on my 21" wheels.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i31hv7t-Ysc I did make a padded (with a foam workout tile) platform with a hole it it to make it easy to work from the back side of the wheel. I also found the use of the clamps shown in the picture invaluable to hold the tire on one side as I went around the work on the other. Without the clamps there was a good chance I would loose ground on one side while gaining ground on the other. |

Re: Installing tires on Rims
Only thing I will add is I use WD40, spray on flap (once installed) and the tire will almost fall on the rim.
FYI
