I've seen a lot of tires broken down, done a few myself, and seen several methods of breaking the bead. The quickest, easiest and by far the cheapest that I've ever laid eyes on was the tire maul. That, combined with some lubricant on the bead will have them broken down in few minutes. The secret to the maul is all in the swing. You must hit the right spot, or it will never work. Just aim to miss the rim a bit, and you've got the right spot. I've never seen a tire that refused the maul. I prefer to change them on the ground. 2 spoons and a maul is all that's needed. Tire shops have gotten out of hand with prices lately. Seen too many 100 dollar repairs on dry tires and 250 dollar repairs on loaded tires. Enough is enough. Do my own now. FWIW,
