Default How do I get these Razr2 tires on the rims?

I finally got my stock tires off my rims. That wasn't easy to do. Took a few beers, some patience and alot of wrestling. Now I tried to get these 6-ply Razr2's on the rims and they are so stiff I can't get them to budge. I get 1 side on the rim. That is no problem but I can't get the other side started.
Any help would be appreciated.

me and my buddy use a big screw driver.. alot of foam filter oil "its was handy.. and too cold to go outside to get something else...)
took alot of time... but we got em eventually... those are 4 ply tho... i dont even wanna think of a stiff 6 ply...

and where did you get your tires and how much were they? i am lookin at kendas or razr 2... i think imma get the razr 2 fronts either way..

I checked everywhere before purchase. You can save alot of your time by buying from Rocky Mountain ATV. That where I got my stuff from.

yup.. thats where i looked also.. the price difference between the kendas and razr 2 was quite a bit... i think i am gonna go with the kenda.. because i dont want the extra weight of the razr 2 and the difference in price.

Take them to a gas station for 5 dollars, drink more beer while you wait.

Good luck,

they prolly have a tire mounting machine... its not just a tool... quite exspensive for some1 to just buy one... not worth it unless your gonna change every1's tires in town and charge em to do it.
