Zip tie method of tire change??

The zip tie method is like the motorcycle version of those stupid TikTok "life hacks." Sure, you can bully a tire onto a rim by entombing it in zip ties. But that doesn't help you get the old tire off. Getting the old tire off is the same amount of effort as putting the new tire on, and requires the same number of spoons.

Since you're doing that anyway, just spoon on the new tire and save yourself $4 in zip ties.
