These tire irons give you the leverage you need to change pneumatic vehicle tires.

Use spoon, tubeless, and snake style tire irons to both remove and mount tires from wheel rims. Spoon style tire irons are good for tires with soft inner tubes because they have rounded edges that won’t puncture or damage the tubes. The bent end of the curved-spoon tire irons can slide under tire beads more easily than straight ends. Tubeless style tire irons have a thin blade that slips under tight tire beads. They’re best for tubeless tires because their blade may damage tires with soft tubes. The snake style tire irons have the longest overall length for the extra leverage you’ll need to replace tires with large rim diameters, up to 15”, on center post tire changers.

Bead-breaker and gooseneck style tire irons only remove tires from wheel rims. Strike these tire irons with a rubber mallet to release the grip between the edge of the tire and the wheel rim. With a long neck, the gooseneck style tire irons are best for large tires, such as those on trucks and buses.

To remove truck lock rings on tires with multi-piece wheel rims, select the lock-ring style tire irons. Use them in pairs to pry the lock rings apart.
