I hit my tire with hammer.
without geting into too much ablout myself I can tell you this, I work with tractor tires all day every day.
like 285/75/R24.5 the same ones you say are on these fire trucks.
if your straining that much you are an idiot.
its real easy, first off its a 1 inch impact not a 3/4 and these are 60 pounds each and have a tourque of 600 ft pounds
we call them “WRIST BREAKERS”
you pull the tire off,lay it on the ground and stand on it, if you don’t weigh enough to break the bead then eat more.
flip it stand on the other side.
Then what you do if use 2 pry bars, lift one side of the tire up off the rim and pull out one bar and use tha tto walk the tire off the rim.
then when that side is off you hold the rim up on end and place one bar inside the tire and drop the rim holding the bar.
the weight of the rim will remove the tire.
Then putting a tire on is simple.
soap up one end,slip it on the rim and jump on it with your knee.
then stand on the tire and using a single bar you walk the tire onto the rim.
use a cheeta to seat the tire and air up to 100 or 110 ft pounds.
Drives are 100 and steers are 110,unless the driver wants something else
car haulers are usually 120 all the way around.
These tires and rims only weigh about 300-400 pounds each and one tech can eaisly dismount a tire fix and replace in 30 mins,without breaking a sweat.
Stop bitching you dont know what your talking about.
The big tractor tires that people use to flip, we use a forklift to hold the tire up and then drop it on the rim. then you use the same bars and stand on the tire and walk the tire on the rim same as the little ones.
these are on the big construction equipment.

Holy crap. Where else on the web can you get a retarded, meth-induced rant about taking off tires AND then someone sane comes along and corrects him on his tire handling technique?
Hats off to you, MaddyD, for making it through his crazy rant and making my morning.

my gosh, we used to change 10 truck tires a week when operating a gravel pit and if you are putting in that much effort you are one goofy banger, are your parents brother and sister?
I can see why tire guys don’t want to do tire flipping. They get paid to do that stuff for 8 (or however many) hours per day, why do it for free on their own time?

lol, I liked that,
I work in a freightliner service point and I do maybe 3-4 a day.
On a good day the driver failed the D.O.T and needs 8 new ones on his tractor,but ya I do about 3-4 a day every day.
they are so damned easy to do.

so true, and ya a day starts at 8 hours, and if your not done it 8 it lasts longer.
you can make alot of money busting tires though, I am a tech 2 so I do tires on top of my other stuff, but some of our tire guys,that do it all day every day average about 4000 every 2 weeks at times.
I couldnt do it though I would get bored.
Flip this tire.
and you could hit it with a hammer too if you want…

j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on.
j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don’t wear shirts.
j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it’s just part of the game.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don’t play games. They f*cking charge your ass.
j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.
bloodninja: It doesn’t get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.
bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.
j_gurli3: thats it.
bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn.
bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.

Dennys has pancakes!
Waffles are for whimps! You don’t have to flip them. You have to flip pancakes no matter how big they are. I’ve been known to flip dozens at a single breakfast. The workout you get makes them taste that much better!!!
