Description
– A motorcycle tire removal tool is a device used to separate the tire from the rim, facilitating tire changes and repairs.
– It typically includes a bead breaker, tire irons, and sometimes a bead holder to make the process easier and safer, minimizing damage to the rim.
Key Features:
Bead Breaker:
This tool separates the tire bead (the edge of the tire that sits on the rim) from the rim. It can be a separate tool or integrated into a tire changer.
Tire Irons (or tire levers):
These are used to pry the tire bead over the edge of the rim. They are often used in pairs or sets of three, and can be made of metal or plastic.
Bead Holder:
This tool, often used in off-road applications, helps hold the tire bead down in the drop-center of the rim, making it easier to mount or dismount the tire.
Rim Protectors:
These are used to prevent the tire irons from scratching the rim during the removal process.
