HH56.
The modern day radials will damn near FALL off of or onto ANY wheel new or vintage, the steel stamped wheels anyway. The only thing u need is manual HAND operated bead breaker, 2wo tire irons and a 2 pound hammer.

It's not worth the trip to a tire shop to have the jon done. At least u won't find watches, tire stems, ciggareete butts, rings and water inside of the tire when it's done.

Mount dismount your own faster than a trip the tire store.

The old bias plys were difficult, VERY difficult to mount and demount. The modern day radials damned near fall off and on the rims now.
