I learned, back in the 80s, that I have better things to do then manually swap tires. What cured me was trying to get a rear tire off of a sport bike. I ended up using a car lift at the dealership I ran to break the bead loose.

I will damn near build a motorcycle from scratch but I will not swap tires. My local dealer will mount and balance them for about 10 bucks a wheel, well worth it. No damage to the tire or wheel, no cussing, no Band-Aids needed.

Your sense of adventure may direct you down this path, but you will be back.
