Tire Removal

Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges on both sides with a soap and water solution or rubber lubricant. This helps the tire beads slip off the rim flanges.

NOTICE

Never lubricate with engine oil or petroleum distillates because they will deteriorate the tire.

Remove the tire from the rim using a suitable commercially available tire changer.

NOTE

The tires cannot be removed with hand tools because they fit the rims too tightly.
