Re: Tire mounting equipment

In the old days, folks did it with long tire irons. You can still
buy such irons, but you will run into problems: breaking the bead
of the tire away from the wheel requires a lot of downward force,
and stretching the (steel reinforce, usually) bead over the wheel
also requires a lot of force.

Not a lot of fun, even for small wheels.
