i drove a screwdriver through the bead on mine to get it of and it still took a while. The tire was junk efore i started so i didnt care lol.

 

well, at lesScwab tires, it cose me 11 dollars to get my flat fixed. and the regular tire machine couldnt do it. they had to take it out to a huge old clamp thing out back, but they got it. i would not recomend tubes. the tire could slip on the bead and shear your valve stem off. thats how i found out how expensive it is to repair them. i got it fixed and a few days later i also sliced the side wall. i'm waitn for a new tire to get shiped form california, so hopefully that will be the end of my problems.

 

Just for the record stock big reds dont have tubes they are tubeLESS tires!!!!

 

I'd just take it to a tire shop and do it right rather than risking it driving something over the tire. Just my opinion...
