How to change a tire, Rougarou style.  I use the same technique to change a motorcycle tire.

I was expecting a pause for mud-bug lunch.  Nice video though...

 

We need to order some before the season is over

You'll need some kit.

 

I bought the below stuff in 2016.  The wheel guards, meh, I quit using them after the second time, but if you are concerned about a scratch or two, you might want to use them.

For me, I can't emphasize enough that the tires be hot, thus easier to change.  Some people can do it when their cold, but I will throw tools if it doesn't do what it's designed to do;)

About rim protectors...

 

I cut up a gallon milk jug.  Very flexible but always protected the rim.

Mike, that pays for itself in the long run.

 

Richard, I wondered if you left that tire out in the sun to prepare.

When I find me a used one, I may jump on it.
