I’m struggling getting the tire over the rim to get started. I’m trying to install new Cooper 37x 13.5 x 17 STT Pros onto new KMC 232 17 x 9 wheels. Can’t even get to first base. I’ve tried Eddie’s method of jumping/standing on the wheel to get it to go down inside the tire. Doesn’t look like it’s close to going in. I’ve tried Mel’s method of slamming the wheel in, I need about 20 more years of experience for that to work. Even tried putting the wheel on the ground and jumping on the tire on all fours, (glad there were no cameras). It’s hard to admit but I’m getting too old for these methods. Has anybody come up with a way to use a jack or high lift to gently force the tire over the wheel? I don’t have the guy from the JLX video to help.
I’ve beat on it for a few hours now and no joy. It’s time for age and guile to win the day. Any ideas?
