I put some baby powder on the foams and rims, it made it a little easier. but it still sucks.

What I do is throw the hostile tires in the microwave for like 30 secounds. One at a time and no foams. It warms them up enough to be able to work them on. Goodluck

TRUST ME when i say this, if you use my methods to tire assembly you ll have one finger that may end up hurting for around 5 minutes max.
Try it once and i promise you ll never do it another way, and you ll not have hands that hurt for a week unless your just a bigass pussy. lolol.

I did 8 sets of 4 one day talk about Ouch! I always grab a piece of the tire with a needle nose makes it alot easier to get the tire over the beadlock. And +1000 for electric screwdriver.
