WTB Tire Irons for OPE?
Original Message   May 13, 2005 2:23 pm
I've got to change several sets of tires on the 6" and 8" rims on snowblowers. BMF screwdrivers seem a little rough on the bead.
But none of the auto shops I've been to carry any, especially those OPE size. Nor does the lawn mower / snowblower dealer.

I was thinking perhaps an ATV dealer would have them? Any suggestions for size or type?

TIA

I just bought two 14" tire irons as they're handy to have anyway.

Do you buy stems at an auto parts store? I'll give tubeless a try since I have six months before the snow flies......

Ah, only 6 more months and snow will be here.  I'll enjoy summer first.

I bought two 14" tire irons on eBay for $16. Got the tire off in about 30 seconds without tearing into the bead. They work well.
