  • I almost bought this new $200 hybrid bike today but both tires (not the wheels) were wobbly. Quest; Does this happen alot with cheap new tires in todays market? I don't remember the brand of tire but it looked good enough. I was reading other web-site comments that said [even a $50 tire can have a wobble] and that i shouldn't worry much about it.

  • I punctured an inner tube trying to use a screwdriver to lever that shit onto the rim. I should not try to swap tires out when angry.

  • @jonhdoehe1 yr a very special person

  • Thanks a lot! I had to use the I had to use the Quick Stik tire changer tool to get the second half of the bead all the way on the tire :) (flat head screwdriver probably would have done just fine provided that you don't warp the rim or stratch any of the rubber. I just had to stretch it out a little and pry it on. That new rubber is tough! Thanks again!

  • I found this video very helpful.

  • WTF??? You didn't inflate the tire! How do I inflate the tire and keep it evenly centered on the rim so it's not out of round? Thanks for wasting my time, dude.

  • does 559 tyres fits the halo tornado 559?

  • you rock! cheeers man!

  • if you lightly lube the tyres with somethign you will find it will seat better. isopropyl alchol works great as it evaporates. some people may not know that isopropyl alcohol allows you to remove grips without damaging them. ideally dont use isoproyl alcohol on painwork

  • If you think this is hard, you should try changing a dirtbike tire.
