I have acquired some "steer tires" for my deuce cause Opcom made them sound like a good idea. I started looking at what I have on the truck and I am not real happy with the rot. I got 3 extra rims and tires with the purchase. I have broke one of the spares down to inspect, and put back together to go on the front for now. Figures that one only took an hour. I am breaking down two BAD BAD tires so the rims are ready for the "steer tires". These are giving me fits. Since they are so large, I didn't even think about using my buddy's (car)tire changer. My process is as follows, Step (1) remove valve core. (2) I lay the tire on it's side under my 725. I use a hydraulic jack on the sidewall using the truck to push down. This gets it 90% of the time. The two tires I'm (trying to) break down, refuse to budge. I have let rust penetrant soak in over night, no help. I have tried wd40(out of pb blaster) no avail. No need to go to the gym this week. Any tips for the home tire tinkerer?
