Default Changing Tires

Well tomorrow my new 19 and 18 inch Holeshot tires will be in for the BAJA, my question is how hard is it to get the stock tires off the bead and reset the new nes, should I take on the task myslef or just be lazy and spend a few dollars?

If you have a Baja with the factory rims they hard as hell to get off. I
have a ridding buddy who has a baja and have changed over his tires a couple of times ( I work in a tire shop). Even with a tire machine they are hard to break off the bead on the bead lock style rims.
Take them to a tire shop for sure.

I have to agree with MRDS650. Take them to a tire shop. I took mine to the tire shop and the guy had one hell of a time getting the stock tires off the Baja rims. I thought he was going to throw the wheel out his front window. Definitly something you don't want to try at home.

I ruined my ohtsus taking them off. Since then I haven't had a problem changing tires. I think they use a bead glue at the factory. Take it to a tire shop for the first time.
