when I was in the forces ( REME ) we'd do it with iron bars a lot of shouting,
a fair bit of blood, then few beers, LoL but it was on 110 rovers ;-)

your more likely to do more damage than good with stiff-walled low profile tyres.
you,ll also chip the paint, damage the metal and invite corrosion.

bad idea IMHO :slap:

Agreed for the price they charge to fit tyres its pointless trying to do it your self

Decent tyre bars are £25-30 each and like pete and nath said for the risk of damage to sidewalls and rims not worth it IMHO :)
