I bought a set of 23 x 8.50-12 lawn tractor tires off eBay. When I received them, dismounting and mounting instructions were included.
Instructions---
All rims are desighened to have the tire removed and replaced from either the inside or outside of the rim.
Before mounting the tire, be sure the rim sealing area is in good shape.
Use appropriate size 2x4 or other method to spread the tire bead app. 1"-2" inches wider then the bead surface of the rim. Leave overnight if possible.
Use a rubber lubricant or dish soap on the bead surface.
I have mounted many small tires and always had to use a strap around tire to spread the bead to the rims. Not after following these instructions:thumbsup:
I could not believe how easily the tires were to mount--very little tire tool usage:biggrin: while mounting the tires, I simply added air--with valve core removed---tire beads were touching rim all around:thumbsup:
