Mounting a car tire to the rim with no tools. It could come in handy if you have no options. Easy and great for custom wheels. Using some hand prying bars would make it easier. Thanks for watching
This comment section sucks, all I see right now is people saying negative things for no reason at all. All you did was show a good method to put a tire on a rim if you don't have the tools. Hope these hating trolls get a life. Good video.👍
I appreciate at your positive comments. Yes they all started coming out together for some reason. I have tough skin but their attitudes scare me, something so simple as a video like this makes them explode with hate. I see now why we hss add be so much violence and hate in the world. What drugs are these people taking? Thanks for watching.🙏
Yeah I agree,pack of loosers some stupid comments.
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms i really appreciate instructional video like yours, and furthermore, machines to mount and balance, for a good machine is about 3000 dollars and they are huge. I can't fit them in my garage. I never thought this can be so easy. @#_# the nay Sayers. They have no clue in life. Amazing. They bash videos like yours but yet they'll bring their cars to a shop to have it done. Extraordinary. Good job, keep up the good work!!
@styldsteel1 great words you speak. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. -Spanky
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms Pleasure!
Meanwhile I'm losing the fight with this steering wheel cover 😓
Yes 👍
Park your vehicle in the sun on a hot day, and leave the steering wheel cover on the dash. After an hour, the hot steering wheel cover will be much easier to slip on the steering wheel.
@@jerradwilson yes
I do you one better : mounting new ear muffs Cover on my Headset. What a pain
Yes
Nicely done! I mount and balance my own, got tired of being dependent on other people, paying tire people to do it and usually waiting for hours. Couple of tire irons and the HF bubble balancer does wonders. I also pick up tire weights when I see them.
@@jonathanparle8429 It is a good balancer - be sure and grease the little pointy cone before each use to reduce friction between the cone and the hole it rides in. Be sure and buy some .5 ounce strip weights as well, also sold at HF. They work well on aluminum sport wheels.
Well said!
Being in the emergency tire repair tool business the number one rule is practice these techniques with the tires on your vehicle in the comfort of your garage/driveway. Every tire is slightly different due to design (ply rating, sidewall thickness, steel encased carcasses, load rating, etc). A load range "B" tire as shown in the video is VERY pliable and the sidewalls are very flexible. A E load range tire (especially a used tire where the rubber has hardened and lost its flexibility) may feel like a sheet of plywood. Again, practice with your tires in a controlled and safe environment and learn the idiosyncrasies of your tire and wheel combination. Tire mounting and dismounting is 85% technique.....this is something you cannot master reading a book or watching a video. Hands on practice is key and learn on the tire/wheel combinations you'll potentially need to do this to.
Yes , thanks for this comment. Some can’t understand or believe it can be done.
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms Most can't believe or understand why anyone would BOTHER to do it. The wheel will need balancing, so just take it to a 'shop'. Under what bizarre set of circumstances would one be likely to find themselves needing to fit a tyre to a rim but can't get to a 'shop'?!

And without scratching your wheels! Bravo sir! Tire shops do not care if they damage your wheel, I will definitely be trying this on my next tire purchase...thank you!
Cool, thanks for watching and sharing your comments. -Spanky
Nice! Now I want to see you take it off with no tools :)
I’ll have to try that. Thanks for watching
Most guys under 30 cant even figure out how to pump their own gas, nevermind change some rubber on the side of the road😂
I hate to agree but I do. Thanks for watching
Popping the hood and checking the oil is a major success story.
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms We had a young male customer who did not know that the wheels can be unbolted from the car. The single parent family syndrome has given us a generation of utterly helpless young males : their Mom just didn't have a socket wrench set in the kitchen drawer.
@missiontent111 wow, sad the hear how some people are not getting the common sense education they deserve. I’m sure he will learn a lot becoming a adult. Thanks for sharing.
When I was a kid and had no money, we drive over the tire to break the bead. The last little bit where he's standing on the tire we also used a car. Very impressive after all the tires I mounted and remove never knew you could do that. .
Thanks for watching
I used to drive the wheel over that stubborn bead. I have another way now.
Wonderful video, thanks. To all you bashers, wow! Spanky took the time to publish this to help us all. Now you attack him? WTF! This video title accurately describes "no tools". He did get the tire on the rim in less time that it would take to drive to the tire shop. It's clear the walk it on method does require a bit of patience. When you are removing the old tire, little care is needed as that tire is garbage. Roadside I have used any scrap found, then lowered the jack to use vehicle weight to press the bead free. I had a bull in a trailer once, there was a part of the trailer frame that was in perfect position. No I didn't have a spare rim, but I did carry a spare tire. If I had a spare rim, the spare tire would've been on it. You learn to carry a spare tire when you grow up very poor. My spare tire was not much better than the one that just failed. But I did get that onery bull to the auction just in time. And it was dead of winter. I stuck the tire under the hood while working on the old tire. I used antifreeze as lubricant. I had a half jug handy, but could've pulled it from the overflow reservoir. Another trick I found is to collect some motor oil, or tranny lube, from the dip stick. It takes several dips to get enough, but I only apply in that final area to help that. And there isn't a red or yellow dot on a used tire. He didn't say he was going to show you how to balance the tire, only how to get it on the rim. You can rotate as needed before you air it up. Side of road repairs are not to enable 80MPH travel, only to get you home or to the shop slowly. Balance is not a factor. For roadside inflation, or in the shop without power, I use the flammable spray trick to seat the bead and inflate without a pump. It just goes "POP!". Then blead a bit of pressure out as needed If you all want to bash this man for his video, why don't you show us how great your videos are.

Absolutely some tires will go on easy like that, many will not.
Very true!
Thank You! You've restored my confidence as a Oklahoma Man. At age 67, I've been an L.A. City Slicker (and can't do shlit anymore). But I spent the first 3 years and every Summer thereafter (right up to 1968) on my Late Granny & Grandpa's 40 acre farm spread just borderline between Taft & Muskogee. I did a lot of tires back then and sho' had country nerve. Thanks for the advice and Tire schoolin'!
Well thanks for watching and thanks for your kind comments. Sounds like you had a great childhood and grandparents as teachers. I’m sure you made lifelong memories with them on the farm. Thanks again and please keep watching -Spanky
On a Sunday evening when nothing is open, this is how it gets done. Great video !!!

As a motorist and a cyclist, I would never have believed that it is possible to mount an automobile tire without at least some big pry bars. I have had bicycle tires that could not be mounted without at least two tire levers (although that also has to do with the limited grip of my hands on a narrow section road tire). I did chuckle when it was suggested that this technique be used as a roadside repair. One hell of a cartridge inflator or portable compressor would be needed.
Thanks for watching. Yes it can be done roadside in the woods ect. Airing it up is somewhat of an issue but a fire cracker lit in the tire would do the trick. Or hand pump. Thanks for watching. I’m a road bike cyclist also. Ride safe🚴🏾🚴♀️🚴🏾🚴♀️
use a racheting strap around the tire to force the beads on each side up against the rim...so you can fill it with air from regular air inflator
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Good job. I have put lots of tires on with large screwdrivers but have never tried this. You proved your point.
Thanks for watching and commenting
2 large flat-nose screwdrivers and a flat nail puller/pry bar do for me. My 78-year-old legs are difficult to use this way anymore. 😁
Yes not need not to use tool’s unless your protecting your wheels. Thanks for watching
Great job showing others how it's possible to do on your own and save a few $ or stuck in a jam. I've done many different tire and wheel combinations both auto and motorcycle tires that have been very low profile and more difficult to do but entirely possible. My technique is also Windex which I always have on hand but what works wonders is leaving the tire out in the sun for a bit to really warm and soften them up. Goes on so much easier and I purchase a separate set of plastic trim tool kit that's has the plastic pry bars of different angles, hooks and sizes to make it scratch free installation.
Great tips and thanks so much for your positive feedback. Thanks for watching and sharing -Spanky

When installing the second bead over the wheel , apply the rubber lubricant to the inside of the bead . Murphy’s Tire Soap works best !
Great tip! Thanks for watching
Bought a second hand pair that were brand new, front pair on the car were bald as a baby. Every tire shop booked up for two weeks out. This saved me tons of money, time, and nerves driving on the racing slicks in the snow, thank you!!!
Awesome, such a great comment and thank you for sharing it. So much nicer than the guy calling me a tool or the one saying it was a fake video. Thanks again and please subscribe if you like.
My dad did this tire mount, I thought that's how it was done? But my dad did extra step more than you that helped. When he sprayed down the tire, he sprayed down the wheel as well. Helping over that last tight spot! One other trick that helps greatly is too heat up tire Infront of space heater. Getting rubber hot will be the ticket!
Great tips thanks for watching and sharing your story
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms I was helping mechanic friend of my dad's, Don change a police car tire. Don asked me to count tire tube patches on inner tube. I counted 27 patches on same tube! Who's doing city mechanics, Micky an Donald? I helped don another time when I met him coming out of McIver park in Oregon. Don asked me to ride his tow truck cable hook to bottom of canyon, where mad biker drove off cliff, crashing his bike to mass of steal around two body parts that EMT just removed!

Brilliant. In the late '70s, I'd seal (or unseal) the bead with my car's front wheel.

I just found out Illinois, prohibits tire shops from putting new tires on rims 5 years old and older!!! So i'm doing it myself saving $25. .broke my bead by running my truck up on a 4' 4X4 placed near the rim at an angle. . Just fought with a hydraulic jack and a scissor jack for over an hour, squeezing the bead between my tire and the trailer hitch of my 92 ford pick up. It was an old mud grip that had been on the rim probably over 20 years. Had it off in 2 minutes using the 4x4. Tough ole SOB. Using your tips to put the new one back on. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks for watching and be careful.
Hello, the Nutty is strong with the politicians of Illinois. If they made that law, they are getting worse.
How'd you reinstall go? 😂😂
It depends a lot on the tire composition and size. Not all tires and sizes will fit in by just stepping on them
Correct, some are harder
Both my patellas slipped just watching this
Don't be such a crybaby, walk it off.
Thanks for watching.
I used to do my own motorcycle wheels after Alamo Cycleplex gave me a dri-roted front tire and then charged me to replace it when it went flat after I left the dealer. This method does work. I used the Windex with dawn soap mixed in. You can also remove the tire with enough pulling but the hand tools help. Get high pressure air into it fast enough to bead it on is another story.
I did lawn tractor tire and had to use a "bead blaster" to get it to seat.
Yes, thanks for watching
@camgere yes. The small tires are the worst sometimes
I have new tires and wheels for my ‘68 Mustang that I need to mount. I think I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the video! 🤙

Absolutely amazing. Like you say, an emergency in nowhere with two parts, and no mounting. The air inflation device would be next.

Good Spanky...I did it, it was not easy as yours, but I did. Even thoughI had to use a lever i got it. Good explanation. Blessings.... 😮
Awesome, some sizes you need a tool. Not all as easy as the video. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts -Spanky
I`m 82 yo and at 16 yo i was taught to fit car tyre`s the same way, the reason was, you can damage the tyre seals or even the wheel rims.
Yes thanks for watching
Huh? What does that even mean?
@joevarga5982 he means using a pry bar can ding up the wheel or gouge the tire bead on accident. Harder to mess anything up by just stepping on it.
@@nd1835 rubbish there’s a correct technique for taking off & putting tyres on & you’ll never damage tyre beads !!
Great video. I always wondered how I would do that without a tire shop. I'll never forget that !
Thanks for watching
My van disagrees. But it has 8 ply commercials on it, I struggled even with manual tools (levers). Very firm walls and beads.
Yes the larger ones take more energy
I'm impressed
This is amazing, I honestly thought the title was click bait. I just bought a tyre machine, where I live they charge $50-100 to fit a tyre, $50 for car tyre, and up to $100 for a 4x4 tyre. Price only went up since you can buy cheap tyres online, before that was about $15.
Bought the Harbor Frieght tire changing tool (no mods) and have made my money back twice!
Yes I know that helps. Thanks so much for watching
Yeah, I guess proof is in the video! I have also seen a guy throw one on a rim and barely push on with his hands! I have tried the stepping around part on 15, 16, and 17 inch tires, never worked. So I am thinking it has something to do with tire type and rim. Not sure though, will try again in the future, I always have the tire changer to fall back on.
What companies charge that much for fitting one tyre ??
@@darrenedwards6538 Mainly tyre changing companies, restaurants and take away shops don't seem to do it.
Works perfect for floppy sidewall beetle tires, and other small car tires with no real load rating. Works for small trailer tires, too. But it would be tough to do this with a larger, low profile sidewall tire or a truck tire. Nice work. Good to see how things get done.
The technique is what you need. If you have a will you will find a way. Thanks for watching
My son blew a tire on the interstate near a small town. Pulled into a Walmart parking lot at the exit and bought a tire. Somehow found a guy who drove up in a car and had a single tire tool. He replaced the tire in the WM parking lot in just a few minutes. I was surprised and impressed.

I'm having GREAT difficulty imagining the chain of events that would result in me being "stranded in the middle of nowhere with no tools" with a rim and tyre that need to be mated. 🤔
if you end up in a situation like me. I took left turn in the rain, someone was pulled out to take a right at the exact same time as I was pulling into the lane and I lost control when I pulled the wheel in the opposite direction of him resulting me the car slamming into a curb. It knocked the tire out of the rim and I had no supplies
Well it happens. I’ve helped a few over the years. Thanks for watching
@possiblysayd9335 it happens. Thanks for watching
@@possiblysayd9335 And you consider your (fantasy) situation to constitute being "stranded in the middle of nowhere"?! 🤔🤣🤣 (You REALLY need to get out more. SMH) So, your 'situation' resulted in the tyre being torn completely from the rim and the rim remaining undamaged?! 🤔🤣🤣 JOOI - today's rims are SAFETY rims - ie designed specifically to ensure the tyres will NOT come off, even under extreme conditions. How fast were you travelling and how under-inflated was your tyre to have that result?! How fast do you normally 'turn a corner'?! I've seen the results of a LOT of very serious high-speed accidents. NONE of them resulted in any tyre/s being torn from rim/s - unless the rim/s are seriously damaged / destroyed. How much damage did you cause to your front / rear end?! Striking the kerb (not curb) with force sufficient to tear a tyre from a rim is bound to cause other damage. A tyre ripped off the rim like that is unlikely to still be 'usable'. What do you propose you could / would have done even if you had 'supplies'?! Do those 'missing supplies' include a new tyre (and rim)?! Why did you not have a spare wheel?! Why is my puerile troll warning glowing so brightly now?! 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A disclaimer should be made that this information is only applicable with certain tire sizes. Tires with RFT (run flat) and tires with an aspect ratio of less than 55 WILL NOT mount this easily

One good trick also is to warm up the tire, especially if you are in a cold storage or garage, get that thing to 50-60C hot enough that you need gloves, it will make the rubber much more pliable but also the heat expands it so the diameter actually grows too.
Thanks for watching and sharing your comments
I love this old school stugf. I'm done with tire shops after countless crap mounting and balancing jobs. I've sent my truck to shops to fix rim leaks too many times for them to take my money and not fix the problem because they were too lazy to properly clean the rim. I have everything I need except the balancer. Gonna try one of those bubble balancers and I'll bet i'll get as good results or better than what those lazy hacks will give me at the tire shops.
Alright, yes those balancers work great. Good luck with it. Thanks again for watching and please subscribe
Don't waste your time with a bubble balancer unless you're trying to balance tall, skinny wheels like a motorcycle or Model T. If you can't do a dynamic balance use some balance beads.
Good video, thank you. I plan to try this myself when I change to summer tires. Q1: Do tires have a public-facing side and an undercarriage-facing side, and how does one know which is which? Reason for question is that a tire factory employee told me many decades ago that otherwise good tires with minor blemishes on one side, from the moulding process, were marked somehow to indicate the undercarriage side. Q2: Do tires have a mandatory direction-of-rotation, and how does one know? Q3: What is the significance of the little coloured dot or sticker that is present on some tires, and how does one use that information? Q4: Is there any reason not to lube the rim and the new rubber valve stem with a wet bar of laundry soap? I mean real soap not detergent.
I put the dot # to the inside, only because it looks bad. Directional tires will say it and have arrows.line the dot up with the valve stem hole. Yes you can use fish soap just no oils. Thanks for watching
I've tried this, never had any luck with it, even with heavy boots. I guess I'll try again at some point, might help to have a clean, smooth wheel without rust roughness.
Yes any rust will make it much harder. Thanks for watching.
Totally badass! And very very much great info to have cuz you never know what kind of situation you might end up in.
Thanks for watching and your positive comments
Cool concept, never considered doing it without at least two pry bars. I guess as you are stepping forward you are actually forcing the tire forward as well which keeps the other side of the tire set in the center section of the wheel allowing you to slowly force the other side of the tire over the rim. Interesting. Normally I'm kneeling on one side while prying the other side over a little at a time, but this technique eliminates the need to hold one side of the tire inside the low center section of the rim. Thanks for posting this.
That sounds about right. Pretty easy on many sizes but some will need help with tools. Thanks for watching
It sure helps to have polished alloy rims. Unlike mine lol.
Yes it helps
