Zip tie method of tire change??

Bill Hilly · 03-02-2024, 09:57 AM

I get stressed out , and keep procrastinating on changing my tires. I have the set of 3 spoons, but I noticed that there are some videos on YouTube of people putting a very slightly inflated tube in a tire, and then , using closely spaced zip ties, they squeeze the tire's beads nearly together, and basically just shove the rim in the tire,cut and pull out the zip ties. It looks easy, BUT, I can't help but wonder, why, if it's so easy, is it not common. Have any of you used this method???? What are your opinion of it ?
Thanks
