Incident today.  .. damaged the sidewall of a front tire on our CF800.   I just ordered a replacement.  CST ABUZZ 26X9-14

I have replaced sportbike tires.  Is this tire something I can replace?  The Harbor Freight "mini tire changer" only works up to 12" wheels apparently.    I have a bead breaker that We used to remove my kid's motorcycle tires.  Is the rest of this doable?

What are you using for this job?

I use the next size up Harbor Freight tire machine. I think you can do without. These come off and go back on from the back side not the front like most others.

This one?

So are you saying you can change time without this tool?  I have a bead breaker that I think will work.  I was just not sure how hard it was to slip the tire on/off the rim.   Like I said,  I have changed sportbike tires which is a bit of a wrestling match.  So I was just wondering if these were as hard to deal with.

Also,  do you worry about balancing these ?

ATV tires can be a real bear with out a machine. Spoons wont be of any help. Youve got to remember these tires are stiff and thick. They can fight you coming off and on.

Yeah, that's the machine I have. It does work pretty well when mounted to the floor. These CFMoto wheels with these tires break and cone off easier then any other that I have done but they are still going to be tough without a machine of some type. Like emersonsc  says, ATV tires because of their design are a little harder to mount and dismount then automotive tires.

Unless you plan on doing multiple tires  I would just stop by a tire shop. I did my last set with tire irons. It wasn't any fun but I did get them done.
