Saw a post on here about an easy way to do this, bead breakers,driving over it with a van and spades, just had the Goat (Ryan) do a new Dunlop for me in under 5 minutes just using 2 tyre levers and a bit of carb cleaner. Saves me a job tomorrow and a load of sweat and swearing. If your reading this Ralph, hes saved you a job as well as no doubt I would have given up after an hour and brought it round your house to do. Looks like the secret to it is momentum and brute strength, the bead on the dunlop is very tough compared to the michelin but no problem for ryan

wd40 also works

Don't use wd 40 only tyre soap, thats what its for.

AJ, does nt your tyre spin after using wd40? not sure i would keep doing that , get some tyre soap far better and dries quickly.

Idealy use tyre soap because any kind of oil including WD 40 rots the rubber after a while. A good alternative if you are struggling for tyre soap is furniture polish ( Mr Sheene etc. )

Hope this Helps

I never had a problem with wd40 been doin that for years just to get tyre to pop up onto rim dont use to much and i only use it on tubeles.

All I ever use on the tubeless is two rim protecters two tyre levers some liquid soap and water a ratchet strap and a compressed air supply, so easy span mine yesterday I reckon from taking the wheel off the bike too it going back on in a time of 10 minutes

silkolene contact cleaner, brilliant stuff it just evaporates

I agree with Toofargone. You want something that will evaporate. Any water or soap left behind will settle out into your spokes and rust them from the inside.

when I say water and soap I only mean enough too get a foam up no actual liquid involved really, however I do keep meaning too get some proper tyre soap off a mate, i`m sure its not expensive but why pay if you don`t need too!
