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?

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

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:

I have only had to drive on a tire once. Every other time I can simply
take the nuts and bolts out of the wheel and pull the two halves apart.

Years ago, I bought one of these inexpensive tire bead breakers from
Harbor Freight. I think it was like $25-30, and is meant for lawn tractor
tires or something. It's one of the best tools I ever invested in. It
holds down the tire, and has a little arm that prys the tire off the bead.

Ditto on HF. You can get a lot of inexpensive tool there. It's great
for someone who only need a tool every now and then.
