A strap right down the middle. Tighten it and it will push the sides against the rim.

... Or spray a quick squirt or ether or starting fluid on the inside and from a distance toss a match. Wear safety glasses and have a hose ready.

The local walmart tire shop mounts our atv tires. Dealers around here won't mount tires you bring in. But like hell I'll pay 2x retail price, and they still want to charge for the service.
Good luck, I tried like heck and couldn't get the old ones off the wheels!!
I brought mine to the dealership on a saturday and the guy said "credit they're 25 each (like it said on the sign), cash 15 each." I went and got cash. I think it was worth it.
Give it a try yourself....it's damn near impossible!!

To break the bead you need to lay the tire on its side, put a board on the tire next to the rim... Then drive up the board with a truck.
It can be a pain in the arse.. $15 each is a little pricy. Discount Tire has done mine for free 3 times, one time I had 65 extremely sharp ice picks in each tire, I couldn't believe they did that for free. Only time I had to pay it was $10 for 2 rear tires.

So i had 2 different sets of rear tire but one set was 3 lug and the other was 4. Well i wanted the tires on the 3lug rims on the 4lug rims. A dealership by me said "Well thats 4 breakdowns and 2 put ons...that will be about 100$" i wasnt happy with that price, plus im currently unemployed. About 2 hours and some good old fashion elbow grease did the job...along with 3 pri-bars (like 2-3feet long).....after all that work 100$ didnt seem so bad lolz
