We don't mind when someone revives an older thread, Stew. In fact, I enjoy it when someone reinvigorates a good thread.

I really like the Motion Pro type tire spoons. They do a very good job changing my dual sport tires. Three tire spoons are not necessary; however, the third spoon certainly makes the job easier. The third spoon is especially helpful when you are removing the old tire.

Thank you Spud, I think I will go with the Motion Pro spoon type irons. About $15 US each so I am assuming they are good quality. You've changed quite a few tires so the advice is golden to me. I think I will order 3 as well, easier is better for me . Do you use the bead buddy like in the video as well?
