I bought these to change the tires on my motorcycle.These spoons were relatively inexpensive, so I figured that for a relatively easy install they'd be OK. I didn't get a relatively easy install-- I got a life-and-death battle between the tires and me. Neither tire wanted to go on the rim, and I was REALLY leaning on these tire spoons to get the beads mounted. The carcasses of the new tires were so stiff that I had to fight to get them in the drop-center of the wheel, then fight again to slip the tire bead into place one small bite at a time.I've used junk tire irons in the past and they always tend to slip off the wheel rim at the worst time. Not these-- once I had them under the rim, they stayed put no matter how hard I levered them. Even when I was leaning on them, the cushioned grips were very comfortable in the hand and gave excellent purchase.Eventually, I managed to get both tires mounted (and I was drenched in sweat by the time I was done, too). I was amazed that I hadn't managed to bend one of the spoons. There were a couple of scratches in the chrome plating and the handles were dirty, but the spoons managed to shrug off all the abuse I threw at them. For a kit that cost less then $25, that's impressive.I've used everything to change tires from junk tire irons to fully automatic tire machines. This kit is not a replacement for a Hunter tire machine, but if you change your own motorcycle tires, they probably should have a place in your toolbox.

Purchased the set for changing my lawn mower tires and golf cart tires. They worked really well removing old tires and installing new tires . Really made the job easier and helped in not damaging the seal between tire and rim (just the right thickness of tool). No problem holding air pressure.

do what they're used for

Never had to change a dirt bike tire before. Tried using bicycle tools and they didn’t work. This plus soapy water made the job a beeeze. Highly recommend!

The spoon shape and gaurds is what you need to effectively deal with tire removal and installation. I did the front with regular pry bars and it was terrible. These spoons made the rear tire much easier to deal with. Good shape, thick, durable, nice handles, 2 guards with set rope.

Works great with appropriate preparation and technique. Worth the money.Probably would've worked without the heat gun, barely heated them up anyway. Used heavy duty zip ties to keep the solid tire in place as I put it on.Was done in less than 5 minutes per tire.Would recommend ClevrPlus Deluxe 3-in-1 Double Seat Bike Trailer Stroller because it already has springs for suspension, making the solid tire less of a ride quality issue.

Only works with small size tires. Forget about rim size 16 and up
