Motion Pro 08-0536 BeadPro Forged Steel Tire Bead Breaker and Lever Tool Set

I have always spooned tires on and off the old fashioned way. Just some dish soap and water, spoons and elbow grease. But I just bought a used KLR, and the previous owner had a tubeless Shinko rear tire installed at the shop. The sidewall on this tire is very stiff, and I could not get the bead to break using my old methods. I have heard of people even cutting the tire off of their KLR's. I am too old to butt my head against a problem. At my age you just find the right tool, and 99% of the time its no sweat. These irons ARE the right tool. There was no learning curve, no issue whatsoever, that tire bead was broken on both sides in 5 minutes. I will never change a motorcycle, ATV, or riding mower tire again without them. The spoon sides of these are also very useful. I found myself not even using my old tried and true Moose irons. It really is an inspired design, kudos to Motion Pro. Get them, you will love them.

These tools worked exactly as claimed. What I recommend is always have four on hand as you will need to work around the rim while keeping the tire you've already put on in place. It's almost impossible to do it with just two. The quality is very good.

Worked exactly as advertised. These are fantastic for removing/replacing tires (my use was for a riding mower).I struggled trying to remove a tire with prybars and screwdrivers, and gave up & ordered these. After hours with the prybar, these tools removed the tire in 10 minutes.Someone left a negative review for these tools complaining that they were not good for breaking the bead, but I do not think that is the intended use (buy a bead-breaker for that, like "beadbuster" - excellent tool).These tools are for removal and re-installation of the tire, and for that, they are perfect.For seating the bead on the new tire, I was able to squeeze the tire a bit (more or less "hugging" the tire to make it fit the rim tighter, and using my air compressor to quickly fill it & seat the bead.

I had been working on breaking the bead on my 14" EUC tire for the better part of an hour. The tire hadn't been on there for more than a couple weeks (just wanted to try out a different tread) and it just wouldn't pop. It was only a 14" tire. It shouldn't have been that bad, but it just wouldn't stop holding on. I tried spoon method, clamp method, even pry bar method. Had plenty of soap and water. Nothing.I finally gave up and just ordered these. Best thing I ever did. It broke the bead in less than 30 seconds. It broke on the first try...almost no effort. Did it in one more place and I was done. Amazing. I'll never go back.Quality is fantastic. They are heavy, strong, and I can't imagine them every breaking. I wish the price was lower, but even so it's totally worth it. You won't be disappointed unless you are trying to break the bead of giant car tires. Highly recommended.

I am not a mechanic at all, not an authority to judge the tools vs another . I just watch YouTube videos from Rolling Wrench and also Mitch's Scooter Stuff to do maintenance and repairs on my Honda Ruckus. That being said, these bead breaker/tire spoons worked great for a 10 inch scooter tire. Keep it in mind that these tires are not as rigid or stiff as some larger motorcycle tires can be. I definitely don't think I would be able to break the bead of a car tire. But they should be fine with any scooter or motorcycle tire. I only gave them a 4 because like I said I can't judge one from a different model or brand. They were a 5 for me and my purpose anyway. They are the least expensive route for DIY tire changing. A lot of people out there retired or are on disability and like me lost $320 a month in benefits when they purged Medicaid. We have to learn to handle stuff ourselves and this tool is an affordable solution.

I ordered these to change tires on my adventure bike after fighting with breaking the beads before. These make it so simple! Get the first tool in, spray with tire lubricant, get next tool in and squeeze them together. Work around the rim and after doing this 2-3 spots, the bead just pops off.

Been breaking beads with an oak 2 by with a hole drilled in for a 6 ft long bar (used for prying rocks out of the ground) stuck into my truck's receiver. This works a LOT better to break a bead. Lube it up, break a section, lube the next section and wait a sec for the capillary action to assist you and keep going. Takes a minute to do both sides. Haven't used the spoon ends because I already have nice Motion Pro spoons that are comfy to use.

Easier to use than most tire irons. Breaking a bead can still be difficult. Could use a third iron to seat and remove tire.
