There is nothing more you could ask for, unless looking for different style tire irons. Perfect product, best price, and delivered right away (not overseas shipping that takes weeks).
Ordered these for changing motorbike tires. Didn't want to spend the higher prices most others want. I can't imagine how you could get any better than these tire irons.
- They are properly forged, you can push them extremely hard until they flex, and they spring back dead straight, will not stay bent. Good for stiff tires, even with a gorilla forcing them on :)
- They are smooth enough to not easily scratch aluminum rims. They have thick chrome plating, and the ends must have been well polished before the chrome went on, so they are mostly mirror-smooth at both ends in all the areas that are touching the tire and rim. That means they slip on anodized aluminum surfaces instead of grinding, as I imagine any textured / un-polished / un-chromed metal surface would (imagine like sand paper even at a micro scale, metal needs to be really well polished to slide on aluminum instead of digging in).
TIP: I put on a stiff 18" rear tire with an ultra-heavy 4mm thick tube. You will find lots of videos showing to remove tires by popping each sidewall to the outside of the rim. The left sidewall goes to the outside of the left side of the rim, and the right sidewall outside the right side of the rim. The rim ends up inside the tire, and then just rotates and pulls out. This works very well for removing tires, AND IT ALSO WORKS GREAT FOR PUTTING THEM ON! Just reverse the process. Put the tube inside the tire, inflate to center it, pull valve stem. Now start at the valve stem, pull it through its rim-hole just enough to spin a nut just on the end to capture it. Now spread the sidewalls and slip the whole rim inside the tire, so the sidewalls completely outside both sides of the rim. Now you just put each side into the rim, one at a time. It goes very easy, right on the floor, just remember to use LOTS of soapy water to keep it all slipping easily.
