Naw, then you'd hit the rim of the wheel before you got to the bead.

What is the easiest way to brake the bead on a 600x6 tire.


Set it on the ground and carefully drive over the tire with your truck.


Sawzall?




I have always had good luck fully deflating the tire (valve stem
removed); placing the wheel/tire on a small board (to help prevent
scratching the rim), then standing on the tire, with one foot on one
side and the other on the other, then doing a sort of dance around the
tire. This process usually breaks the bead free in less than a minute.

Turn the wheel over and repeat for the opposite side. Usually, when one
side is free, the other follows even more quickly.

Am alternative is to build a bead breaker out of scrap material. A
simplified diagram follows:
