The tire beads were tougher than the light aluminum wheels. Eventually used a die grinder and cut off wheel to cut the wire bead so I could cut them off. Don't know anything about golf carts. Do they use a one piece or a split rim? I have ATV and SXS one piece wheels and tires mounted and dismounted at regular tire shops, but they would not touch one of these aluminum split rims. A small "shade tree" shop somewhere might tackle the job. I had a flat tire when I landed at Fort Nelson, British Columbia, in 2004. A motorcycle gang was using a hanger to build bikes. They tackled the job for me, took me all the way to town to get some patches. Could have never gotten the job done by myself.

The reason I mentioned them is that they will have a bead breaker usable on small diameter wheels. Leave the wheel assembled, & let them break the bead on both sides. I'd assume that once the bead is broken free, he can handle the rest of the job himself.

I did get a chance to ride the 11,000 miles from Phoenix AZ to Alaska and back. It is still probably one of the nicest vacations I have ever had. Like John did, I dry camped most of the way. There are numerous camping grounds along the Al-Can Hwy that have showers and laundry if you need that. I prefer to camp with the bears and moose. I did the trip in late June and it took 20 days.

If it was my problem and I had a off road tire on the rim, I'd sacrifice the tire and cut the wire bead. If not, I'd figure out which cost the most to replace, aircraft tire or MATCO rim.

It was a red and white color scheme. The aircraft had not been flown, nor the initial flight test hours flown off it. It certainly wasn't flown to Oshkosh, and was not qualified to be judged at Oshkosh, but somehow it was. I may be wrong on this aircraft.

I think I will stick with the screws. I don't have a tire changer, but I do have a screw gun. :-) smug Larry ---Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Bradley Nation Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 11:02 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Tire Replacement I=99m try to replace my tires on my Xtra but so far I am unable to re move them from the Matco split rims.
