to put it simply, It's a B*TCH.

Get your self 2 screw drivers. Thick, strong screw drivers.

Then place your foot inside of the rim. Take one Screw Driver in and pull up so that the tire is coming over the rim. With your third arm. Hold it in place. Get the other, take a small bite(meaning don't try to get too much at one time or you'll lose it all) then hold it in place, and repeat.

For getting it the rest of the way out.

Pull the rim till it meets the other side, stick one screw driver in and pry up then take the other and do the same.

It takes awhile. This is the process i use. But it's just kind of hard to explain. I hope i helped.

another easy way, is to bring it to a local shop and for about $10 they take the tire's off, and put the new ones on. it worked great for me!
