Quad bike tyres

[Bob the beef]

Anyone got any advice on how to change quad tyres. Just got a bead breaker and tyre levers . No fancy tools. TIA

Not what you want to hear but I expect it’s what most people are going to say: Take all four wheels off, grab the new ones and go and visit your nearest tyre fitter. Give him a drink and go home happy!

Warm the new tyres up to soften them,soap on the beads,take the valves out so the air line is full flow, if not coming out to the rim whack the Tyre to "blow" it. If not working resort to the previous answer

Putting a ratchet strap around and tighten up slightly squashing the tyre against the bead to help it seal, fairy liquid on the bead helps it seal too.

Pallet tines either side of the rim, done from lawnmower tyres to 800x32 combine tyres to 650x42” rims like that

You forgot to mention the bit where you stand there watching him struggle, thinking how glad you are you didn’t spend your time and patience with the stupid bloody things.....

Got the wife to take ours in to the local fitters.

£10 for 4 tires changed, absolute bargain.

Not wort the hassle or risk of damaging the tires.
