I guess I should have given a bit more info on my past experience. I have changed tires on all kinds of wheels from go cart tires(6 inch) to my tractor tire. For the go carts I build a bead breaker and for the tractor I used the bucket to break the bead. Once the bead was broken I then was able to change the tires using common tools. HOWEVER, on my wife's SUV, although I was able to break the bead there was no way the tire was going to come off the rim without a tire machine. I also know how frustrating it can be to try and get some tires to seal on the bead.

Thanks

Fred.
