Tires Popping a Tire Bead

for small tires I prefer This

I don't like tubes in a tubeless tire.
Might I inquire as to why you keep loosing air?

Mine was mostly thorns and suck working through the tire. Tried tubes for a year. Was constantly patching them.

Go to an agreement tire shop and have them put in a "Thorn guard" or whatever they carry. Kinda like slime. But you want enough in there that the liquid at least covers the bead s o. The bottom of the tire. Probably a gallon per tire.

Products like slime don't work nearly as well in a tube. Cause the material is just too thin to seal. Tire carcass is much thicker.

Losing air like so many BX's do. Apparently the beads. I don't like any slime or thorn guard. I have seen the inside of wheels after a few years, and they are corroded terribly. I see no issue with tubes in a tubeless tire.its just that I lose 12 pounds in one week.

The issue with tubes is you have a very thin layer or rubber and it punctures easily. And when it does get a leak you have to dismount to patch, which could be a few hours of swearing.BTDT. Tubeless though, grab a plug kit and I'm back running in 10 min if I get a punctures

After trying to drive over mine which didn't work, I took it down to the local tire shop, and they broke the bead in about ten seconds. Didn't charge me, either. Got lucky that day.

Take the valve core out and drive on the tire for a few feet while steering back and forth. Tractor tires don't have a bead like a car tire so they come off much easier. Just stay close to where you are going to do the work to avoid driving too far on the flat tire.

This will do it pretty easy Mini-Tire Changer just did some 20x8-10 front tires off a kubota, couldn't break them with the loader and this changed them easy. Took about 5 min a tire to change once I figured it out.

I replaced the front tires on my JD 790 with this. I mounted the mini tire changer to this. Hitch Mount Vise Plate

Just be aware the alignment disc on mini tire changer is pretty small. It wasn't a large enough diameter to capture the ID of the wheel. I luckily had an old drive hub off my lawn tractor spindle laying around that I was able to use instead.

I'm glad I saved the old tubes because the new tubeless tires seem to leak down over a week or so. I might try one more time to get the beads to seat better or it's back to the tubes. Either way this mini changer makes it a snap to break the tires down.

On your BX, let the air out and drive it slowly a few feet and it will pop off.

I put tubes in the front turf tires on my B1750 about 12+ years ago. No issues since.

The sealing rubber layer in the small tubeless tires used in such applications deteriorates with time and will not hold air after a few years. Mine were not leaking at the beads and had no punctures.

I did tires professionally for a couple of years.

I'm surprised nobody knows about this option. The best way to break the bead is with a wood splitting wedge. You lay the tire down, insert the wedge towards the bead, step on the wedge to hold it place and then drive it in with a hammer. Work your way around until the bead pops loose. Simple as can be and works like a champ!
