Not to disrespect the others, but I think people get WAY too worked up about split rims. They are not heat seeking deheaders like some make them out to be.
The biggest problems come when they go really flat and then get reaired or when they just get changed.
I personally take mine to a GOOD tire shop. They will change them...THEY HAVE TO...they are still on almost every (older) grain truck and dump truck. The fifty bucks (thats about what I pay) is worth your life if you dont know how to handle them. One tip if you are too cheap. I heard that you could take the bucket of the loader and make a poor mans cage w it. Just put the tire under it w just enough room to get at the valve stem and air away. MAKE SURE THE RING SEATING AREA IS RUST FREE.
