I built a fixture several years ago to change tires, and have done dozens of tires in the meantime, but I'm running into a Hoosier tire that's giving me fits. I bought some track and autocross tires, and have most of them mounted (still need to balance them), but I've got one that's got such a hard bead in it that I can't get it over the rim. With all the tire lube on the bead it just keeps sliding off as I'm trying to press it on. I'm going to make an addition to the fixture to hold the bead at one side while I nudge the rest of the bead over the rim, but before I start bending and welding material, I'm curious if anyone else uses a manual setup, and if so, how are you holding the tire so it doesn't keep sliding around in the process?
Thanks,
Mike
