About time I got a tire changer

If no sun used a heat gun to warm up the beads. If cold outside, sit tires in the house that is probably 68 degrees or more for a day or two.

One friend spoons his tires and if it's not a hot sunny day to warm the tires he places aluminum foil over the tires and places a trouble light under the foil overnight.
