Motion Pro Forged Steel Tire Iron - Irons 8.5" 10/CD

Changed my own tubeless tire.

After looking at some portable bead popping devices, I decided to try this one out, since I read that this would work on big-adventure-bike wheels. I was worried because one of the tires I need to change is on a R1150GSA, which has a 1 inch or so lip that the bead rests on.<br /><br />The units are light weight but have a good feel to them. They feel like what you would expect from a tool of this price. They take up more room than the tire irons I used to carry, but they are about the same weight. Easy choice for my kit.<br /><br />In order to test this out, I changed a tire using just these tools (and a brush to clean up the rim). I was able to do this without much fuss. On the aggressive GS rear rim, I did have to use the tool in 4-5 spots on each side of the rim to finally break the bead. I placed the tool so it would be between two spokes each time. The tool pushed the tire down to the end of the 1" lip, which has a little ridge to further keep the tire in place. Once I got the whole bead down to the ridge it took just a little bit more push to get the bead into the dip. Removing the tire took 20 minutes at a careful pace. If your concern is that this tool won't be able to break your heavy duty bead, it will.<br /><br />Further, I completed the tire change with just those 2 tire irons. Contrary to some reviews, the irons gave me plenty enough mechanical advantage to remove and mount the tires. You just have to make sure the bead on the other side stays in the dip of the rim.<br /><br />Just like any other hand tire tool, be careful and don't apply too much force to your rims. If any step of the tire change is difficult, you may be doing it incorrectly.

Don't forget the rim protectors!

...and the lube. I'm going to have to replace some wheel stripes on my bike because I did forget the rim protectors and forgot to lube the first tire while trying to work it off. Despite what I expected from seeing this in use on youtube, I wasn't able to get the bead to break on the first try. I had to work the bead most of the way around the tire before it finally let go. I don't think lube would have helped. Maybe not an issue for really narrow tires, but it took so real work on the 120/70ZR17s I was dealing with. The 180/55ZR17 rear was less painful, but still not a single 'insert and pop the bead' process. If you can wait and spend the money on a proper tire stand and no-mar set of spoons, I'd recommend you go that route. If you can't wait or can't afford those, these will get the job done.

Best thing since sliced bread!

These ingenious little tools are indispensible for breaking the bead quickly and easily. So much better than trying to use the kickstand or pound on the bead hoping not to hit the rim. Also double as tire irons, light weight and easy to stow. Wish I had invented them.

Excellent

Excellent product. Just bought it and to try it before going to ride, I change a tire in my living room!, no issues at all

Works great

Excellent product. Bead breaker works like a charm, just don't put your face anywhere near it. I stupidly gave myself a black eye so save yourself and maybe wear some eye protection?

Use as designed and take your time to prevent rim/tire/tube damage.

Quality hard grade steel construction is made to last and perform the specified task very well.<br />Hard steel may scratch rims without a rim guard. 16 inch length may cause motorcycle/scooter tool box/tube storage constraints. Thin edges of bead breaker ends may wear thru fabric.<br /><br />Use note: The bead breaker ends of the tool are specifically made thin like a flat bladed screw driver to ease insertion between rim and tire bead, and should only be used to break the bead. Do not insert the bead breaker ends into the tire to remove or install the tire from the rim. Once the bead is broken, use the spoon side of the tool set for final removal and installation. Take your time to prevent damage to your rims/tires/tubes. Without a rim guard, this tool will scratch the inner lip of the rims due to the hardness of the steel. Again, take your time to minimize this damage, and only use the bead breaker end for its intent.<br />Storage note: The 16 inch length may cause a storage space problem for some tool box/tube solutions that mount to motorcycles/scooters. And as noted earlier the bead breaker edges are thin, and can cut/wear thru fabric bags. Suggest a few layers of masking tape over the ends during storage.

does it's job

They work better than expected, I have just done without a breaker in the past. These not only break the bead easily, but can go along for the ride.

High on craftsmanship, LOW on design.

My bead needs to travel 1? to unseat from the rim. These only allow 3/4?... sort of. The actual bead only moves like 1/4? or less where it touches the rim. The fulcrum isn?t at the bead, it is 3/4? away so if your bead flexes, like rubber does, youre going to flex the sidewall and not move the bead. I?ve soaped it, I jam it under the rim as far as it?ll go before I activate the lever, etc. These don?t work for me and I don?t recommend them. Do they have a 190 version I?m not aware of? I just don?t see how this product is beneficial. I can think of three janky ways that work better than these bars. Gonna go do one of them now and get this tire off the rim. I don?t recommend, especially for the price.

Motion Pro steel bead breaker

These bead breakers with integrated tire spoons are heavy duty, well made/designed, and work great. They aren’t a no-mar tool so if you’re looking for something that won’t scratch your rims then buy rim shields to use with them.

Goy the job done without drama

These are the longer breaker bars, I've used the shorter aluminum and found the length of the steel to be a big advantage. Would recommend~

Tough job, but someone's gotta do it!

I first used these on a set of tires that were on a bike that had been sitting for 7 years in south Louisiana. They broke the bead right off, but I had to take a hacksaw to the tires to compromise the structure enough to get them all the way off. I would definitely suggest enlisting a friend! <br /><br />But the new tires, warmed up with the sun and a hair dryer, were SUPER easy to put on. A tire shop will charge you $20 to put the tires on, and they'll do it in 30 seconds without breaking a sweat. But if you can't be bothered to pay someone else to do a job, you should definitely get these! Definitely spring for the rim protectors or make your own if you care about your wheel paint. I had them but was lazy and didn't use them ONE TIME and scratched the hell out of my rims.

These are a life saver! They made my first ever tire change a breeze and I never want to take my tires in to a mechanic ever again!<br />After changing two tires they already paid for themselves. I recommend buying if you enjoy saving a buck in the long run and working on your own bike.

Work as Advertised

Well designed, thoughtful details, beautiful...but most importantly work exactly as advertised. (You'll also want their RimShield II (2) when the bead is broken and it's time to turn these around and use them as tire irons). Motion Pro makes an alloy, shorter version of these for carrying on your bike. These are the long and heavy steel models for your shop. These look like they'll last forever. My Pirelli Angel GT A-spec rear came off using these, so they should work for any normal motorcycle tire.

Right tool for the job

This is the right tool for the job. I have been changing my own tires for the past 20 years and used many different pry bars. This is the right tool for the job.

Nice tool

Never changed a motorcycle tire before, but watched some youtube videos. The guy from Motorcyclist Magazine uses all the tools I would recommend as my tire change went smoothly. This set worked well for bead breaking and for tire installation as there are spoons on the opposite side of the bead breaker.

Very impressed

So I have tried several methods to break the bead and this solution turned out to be the easiest and quickest. The tools were easy to use and quality built. I would recommend this kit.

Must have for adventure riders

I have had the occasion to change/repair many tires on the trail, camp and in the garage. This is the best portable bead breaking system & spoons combo. Use to do the kickstand technique but this is way safer and easier. Spoon end is smooth with just the right size/lip for adventure tires. Too expensive yes, but build quality is great and they work as advertised. They will always be in my kit now. Thank you Chet for introducing me to this better way.

Worked fine

I got very angry at them, not because they suck, but because changing motorcycle tires by hand sucks. they did their job just fine.

Best tool I’ve purchased for my bike. They work great, and took my tire off in just a few min.

Good combination bead breaker / tire iron

These are a good all-around tire iron / bead breaker. The extra length over the compact models is nice, as is being made of steel. I had no problems popping off a stiff OE tire and replacing it with another one using these.

Better than I thought.

I have never changed motorcycle tires before so I was skeptical, in fact I had a motorcycle mechanic supervise me since I was concerned about the front brake on my R1250GS. He was impressed as was I how easily this unit worked compared to other methods he has used. If I ever loose this I will definitely buy another set.

2011 883 iron

this is DEFINITELY a must have. I was at the point where I was going to chuck my damn old tire irons out the damn window along with the rim and tire... this made replacing the tire a breeze ( I have shoulder issues) would definitely recommend.

Works but still not easy.

Used these to change the tubeless tires on my ST1100 today. Breaking the bead on the rear tire is always a pain and I had hoped these might make it easier. They worked, but not like in the videos. I used a lot of lube and had to work them around the tire in 4-5 spots in order for it to finally break the bead. Frustrating to say the least but ultimately did get the job done. On the flip side, it was much easier on the front tire (as I expected) but it still required using the tool to push the tire down in a couple spots before the bead finally broke. <br /><br />While I'm disappointed in the bead breaker function, they do act as excellent tire levers due to their length and stiffness. I change tires infrequently enough that I'll live with the flaws, but if I was changing street bike tires frequently I would get one of the bigger shop breakers.

I was skeptical at first...

...but these were amazingly simple and easy to use. I have changed tires before, but no longer had a separate bead breaker. These broke the bead in less time than it would have taken me to setup my old bead breaker.<br /><br />The extra length and broad lip on these then made it much easier than I have ever experienced as far as unmounting the old tires and getting the new ones on. Leverage rules!

These tools are a must!

Moto Pro bead breakers are exactly that. They break the bead off the wheel on most every tire I try! I keep them in my panniers all the time. I love a tool that works. These do! The length is very beneficial when spooning on and off those stubborn tires. Even K60s came off easily. Highly recommended for those who swap their own tires.

Good, but coating might as well not be there

Does the job well, but within a week of first use, were pretty rusty. Stored dry, but plenty of surface rust in a week. Some Ospho and paint on them now to keep Florida humidity from wrecking these.<br /><br />A zinc or other coating should have been used. Otherwise, perfectly functional.

10/10

Easy to use. Ive done 2 sets of sportbike tires so far. Would definitely recommend.

motion pro (silver)

it was a great decision to buy these instead of paying $50 a tire at the dealership!<br />I?m glad I get the long ones for extra leverage

Work like a professional

Worked so well I almost didn't have to be there.I changed both front and rear tires on my street 600cc Tite fitting radials this combo tool is a well engineered and quality price and made my job way easy/this was the first time I had changed my own street tires tool is exhalent. ??

Fine tool

They mostly work, but the plastic protector doesn't work well. Watch Ari Henning using them to change tires, and you will have a pretty good idea.

Quick and easy!

I had my doubts about this tool, but purchased to try out. I have no doubts about it anymore. Works great. Compact enough to carry in my dual sport. Sturdy enough for shop use.

Strong tire irons

They are the strongest tire irons I ever have ever used and break the bead on every tire that I tried them on. I replace my own tires on my GSA and don't use a tire machine..yet... For on the trail they may be a bit too heavy for some but I'd rather have them and not need them than the other way around...

Does the Job Well

works great! god and strong with its forged steel. i don't understand why the aluminum ones are more expensive when these are so much stronger. great product.

Best hand tools for tire changes.

The tools really help breaking the bead and not scuffing up the rim. You may need to work them around about 90 degrees of the wheel to work the tire down the lip, depending on the tire. I prefer the longer version for better leverage, but these stay in the garage. If you're traveling with them, the lighter option may be for you. Either way, well worth it.

Worth the money!

I have been changing tires for years on tire machines but needed something for my garage and at the track. One of the best bangs for my buck (with 2 sets of rim protectors). Watch the instructional videos many times before attempting yourself and practice on a old rim or you could tear a good rim up or rip tires. Also make sure you have a spray bottle with soap/water for lube.

Sturdy, for better or worse.

Very satisfied with the set! Not a lot of flexibility in the metal, which is great when you're breaking beads.

Great tire irons!

Just used these for the first time. They worked great, and I think I could probably have completed the tire change with just these two irons, though you might want a third tire iron for certain applications. Cannot comment on durability (just bought them, used once) but they look like they'll last a lifetime.

Very Pleased

These irons worked great. At first I was alittle skeptical. But once I learned the technique to use them they worked great. I'm glad I chose to get them. Would recommend them to anyone changing their own tires

Worked great

2017 FXDB with stock wire wheels. Used these two spoons to change the back tire. First time changing a moto tire and it went very smooth. Will purchase another set just to give me that crucial third spoon.

do not buy!!!! gumick

Do not buy these these. will not work on rear wheels on sportbikes 600cc or bigger. these only work on cheap lawnmower wheels and the front wheel. this is a Gimick

difficult task made easier

This is my first set of tires irons. They broke the bead easily enough. They seemed to function well, think it was my technique that made the job the difficult, not the irons. Hopefully gets easier with practice, but these seemed solid tools for the job.

Awesome!!! ??

Awesome length & leverage with spot on bead breaking ability. I’ve used them on motorcycle tires, smaller tractor & car tires.

Easily breaks beads on even heavy dresser tires

I was a little nervous about changing the tires on my street glide. I've done dirt bikes and other smaller bikes, but this was my first attempt at a full size dresser. These tools made life easy. I had good luck breaking both sides and was able to use them as traditional irons too. Great tools.

Good

Good product !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These things are great

These are great tools for this rookie tire changer. Tools worked as described. Still had to fight get the tire back on, and realizing I was dealing with a tube tire was a minor setback. Nothing more glass cleaner and the right YouTube video can't fix.

Bead Breakers

Pretty straight forward product. They work well but you gotta be very careful to avoid scratching the rims. Solid metal and feel great.

work like a champ

I looked at the aluminum ones and decided on steel for the longer length. they broke the bead well and the spoon ends worked well also. Be careful how you hold the 2 pieces when you press down on the upper bar... I have a blood blister to remind me to keep my palm open and down on the upper bar while pressing down to break the bead. A great tool.

They made and easy job of changing my Sportster tires

These irons work really well at breaking the bead, and with the help of another (cheap) set of irons made a short work of changing the tires to m my Sportster. They are amazingly light, good stuff worth the premium price.

Good quality tools, no complaints.

I just picked these up to help me change my first tire on my 11' Monster 796ABS. I would suggest knowing the ins and outs of your bike previous to undertaking this task I will admit... Luckily these things are pretty awesome and with some patience I was able to change out the tire without a hitch and these held up perfectly. Good feel to them, they provide some natural grip both to your hands and to the rubber, and are kind of fun to use.

A little leverage goes a long way.

I bought these for my first job changing my motorcycle tires. They are hefty, feel strong, and they're easy to use.

Great tool

Throw your standard tire irons in the trash. I remember helping 2 buddies change tires with three standard irons, couldn't do it and they ended up taking the wheels to a shop. I got these and did the job by myself. The bead breaker works like a charm and the irons are super tough and have plenty of leverage.

I did it!

I changed my own tire! These worked really well and I followed the article on Common Tread for instructions.

Great bead breaker and tire spoon combo

I changed the tires on my 13 gsxr 1000 with these and they worked great. Def pick up some rim guards so you don't scratch your rims.

Great tool needs a 3rd spoon

Breaks bead well. Just need a 3rd spoon to help with mounting new tire

Expensive...but when I am stuck in the bush I don't want to skimp on tools

This is was more than I wanted to spend on tire levers but the fact that this tool does more than the average tire lever makes it worth it. I am only buying this kind of tool once and I expect it to last a lifetime. Based on the feel, I believe these are very well made.

They work on GS 1200 tires.

Wasn't sure if these tools would work on the tubeless tires on the 1200 GSA? I read the reviews & decided to give them a try. With a little patients I pried the bead down in about 5 consecutive spots & the bead popped on the front & back tire. The real trick was getting the tire off with the spoon side. Make sure the bead is in the center groove of the rim on both sides use a little soapy water or WD40 if in the field. These tools are a great size to travel with & they do the job.

Motion Pro BeadPro Forged Steel Tire Bead Breaker

They did the trick. Not sure if anything could be improved on. They are sturdy and does what is needed.

Motion Pro BeadPro Forged Steel Tire Bead Breaker

This set is the better set when it comes to tire irons. These are my go-tos for tire work.

Will break suborn beads

Been using these for many years. they make tire changes much easier. The bead braker feature is awesome and the spoons are magic. Just used them to remove the front and rear tires, tires that really didn't want to come off. I have to steel version, bullet proof worth every penny.

Snake Oil?

I've never successfully broken any beads with these. I'm not sure what the trick is. I know I'm using them correctly. I just can't get them to work. Go figure.

Motion pro

These bead breaker will come in handy, when needed.

Great Tool

These things work great. Can easily change a tire by hand in just a few minutes. Having one extra spoon can help on tough tires, and use lube!

Works as advertised.

These work as advertised. It takes a full pass around the tire, taking small bites, and they give you a workout. But they do break the bead!

Highly recommend if wanting for trailside tools, probably want tire stand and normal spoons for home use.

The bead breaker on my tire stand works better than these at home but on the side of the trail, these might come in really handy.

The "Bead Breaker" capabilities are outstanding.

N/A

Tools are good what else would there be to say?

Best tire iron I've ever used.

I saw these on youtube and thought,"If I had that tool, I could be a tire guy too"! So, I bought it. It costs more than all the Harbor Fright bars. It showed up at my house. I called my buddy that needed to change his tires too and said, "Get to my house, IT'S GOING DOWN"! I took my wheels off. I wielded these irons like a Knight and his sword, a Samuri and his sword, or a Frenchman with his, fenceing bent noodle-wire-poky-thingy? Whatever bro, the point is, these irons work as advertised, they are badass. We did tires on both our dynas and never scratched anything. After watching youtube and using these twice, I'm basically a highly experienced motorcycle tire professional.

Work as advertised. I was able to easily break the bead on a sport touring bike tire.

Not much to say. They are tire tools and they work

Tough & Durable

These are very durable. Makes easy work of bead breaking.

Surprised

I was pleasantly surprised at how well they break the bead on the tire

Must have.

Over priced but worth every penny. They work great. Hard to pack for travel though…

Cruisers, Sport Bikes, Dirt Bikes, Adv Bikes ?

These work great for every type of motorcycle I?ve tried them on. I haven?t gone to a dealership for tire changes since purchasing

These are great. Changed both tires on my bike , myself with ONLY these these tools , zip ties and balancing beads

Great set of riding glasses. I’d off-road and on road bike riding and tend to start off early in the morning. These glasses are great I put them on in the when I leave before daylight to protect my eyes and don’t have to switch when the sun gets bright , they do it for me. This is a must have item

BeadPro Forged Steel Tire Bead Breaker

They are a good tire iron but a bead breaker? it will do it but its work on some tough tires

I got the shorter aluminum version of these - Work Great!

I don't see a listing for the shorter aluminum versions of these on the website, but I got them at the Madison, TN store yesterday. They are about 10" long and $10 more, but a LOT lighter and more compact. I changed out a set of 17" Michelin Road 6's - the old tires were Pirellis...on my Buell Ulysses and the tool worked great. A little more leverage would have been nice, but the shorter ones worked fine. The aluminum handles are a bit thick for using as spoons - and although I did manage to do the job, a couple of thinner steel tire irons would have probably been easier.

Works great! Very strong!

Works great! Very strong!

Effective, easy to use.

These work better than my other bead breaking contraptions, which included DIY tricks and a wedge I was supposed to pound into the crevice between the rim.

Great quality product. Worked perfectly well.

Works well for both of my bikes

I used them on my CBR600RR and 2003 CR250R. Every tire mounted easily, except the front on my CBR600RR, It took a little longer but the irons worked great!

Tire Bead Breaker

Wonderfully made I have not used them yet but I will be getting tires soon

Great product

They work Great highly recommend

Much easier tire bead breaking

Works very well and does what it is supposed to do. You may have to do a bunch of spots working your way around the tire but it will eventually break the bead. Work well as aditional spoons for tire install as well. Have never been let down by a Motion Pro product thus far.

Good bead breaker as well as great tire irons

This tool is really effective. I have used it on three different wheels and though it takes a little work, they do break the bead nicely. Even better, the opposite ends feature some really nice tire irons, the taper is very sharp, easy to work under the bead for tire removal.

Good irons, bead breaker is hit or miss

Nice long tire irons, plenty of leverage. The bead breaker end didn't work very well for me (old tires in a cold garage).

Works but i could not break the bead on my Harley tire. Had to get a bead breaker from a tire changer.

Essential Must Have Tool

Well made, heavy duty, must have tools for every motorcyclist.

Great to have

These things take the chore out of breaking the beads on my AT. They are STOUT! Great tools!

Heavy Duty/Great Material

Bought these to do my own tires for the first time. I had tried several other methods but after looking online and watching videos I found these. They're incredibly strong and made quick work of a stiff tire in 30 degree weather. 10/10 Great product

It was one of those purchases where it was just worth it. It was my first time changing tires on my bike. First tire took 45 mins of cussing, second took about 10 minutes of patting myself on the back. They’re great with some technique

Decent bead breaker, still good irons.

Bead breaking with these works alright. One tire I just used a stiff side stand on since these weren't doing the job. They do work great for tire removal and manipulation. The tongue and fork bits sides interlock well and can get tire's off the rim post bead break.

A must have for any do it yourselfer

Couldn't do my tires without them!

Big, solid levers that are built to last a long time. Tire changing is a learned skill to do it well and fast. The design of interlocking front ends helps to put a lot of pressure on those stubborn beads.

Great tire irons make the job easy!

Great tire irons. The bead breaker works great and the spoon end has just enough curve to catch the rim without gouging into it. These made changing my set of tires easy and damage free.

Solid

Changed a set of tires with these. Held up well. Feel solid and durable. Put a fair amount of torque on them. Has two different ends that help it’s versatility.

Satisfaction

I've tried in a cold garage to remove my tires in the past with cheaper/shorter irons with no luck.<br />These are worth the coin if you want to do it yourself with ease and confidence.

Great long handled tools

Watched a video on use and changed my tire in about 15 minutes. They will scratch so if you care use shield or something. Only used for dismount. Installed with zip tie method.

Best bead breaker on the market. makes the job really fast and easy, 2 new tires and tubes within 1 hour. Awesome.

Great tool , wish I had thought of making such a tool. Tire change went easy. Going in the road trip tool kit.

I'm glad I bought these, I had purchased a set of irons but to me they where too short, the extra length really helps. Quality is pretty good.

Made breaking the bead very easy.

First time I have ever changed my tires. Easily broke the tire beads. I got the steel ones because they are longer and it was helpful having the extra leverage. They are a bit expensive but they do work well. Also helps to check out you-tube videos.

Great tool!

This tool does this job just as it says. Make sure to get the guards so you don't scratch the rims.

good

important tool to avoid damaging your wheels

First time tire changer -

They worked. They didn't bend - use the rim protectors and search YouTube for Ari Henning Tire change. Paying a dealer to change ONE tire would cost as much as these, so they've already paid for themselves.

Fantastic

I was gonna buy a cheap set of spoons but I saw all the good reviews for these and went for it. 100% worth it, the built in bead breaker really helped speed up the process. First time ever dismounting and mounting a tire and I was able to do it all in less than 30 minutes.

Gets the Job Done!

I got these irons as I am retired and have much more time than money and the shops charge a hefty price to mount and balance tires. I used to do my own mounting back in the 1970's when i raced off-road every weekend but it had been nearly 50 years since I'd done this. I had to replace the front tire on my VFR 800 and this tire is much stiffer than the knobbies that I had mounted so many times. These irons worked very well. no need for some large, fancy tool to break the bead. It took a number of tries but it wasn't very difficult to remove and mount. This is all you need. Hey, if a 70 year old guy can do it, you can too!

My first set of spoons!

These were my first set of spoons that I used for my first attempt at changing my 2011 Ninja 250R tires. After watching a lot of videos of how to uses the spoons and tiring changing tips, I believe these tire irons work great!<br /><br />The bead breaker feature work great. I would highly recommend to warm up the tires in some way to make the process easier. Set them in the sun if possible. The bead was broken off easily on my rear tire but the front took some work to break the bead loose (maybe needed to be hotter or just an old tire?) because of this I marred some parts of the inside.

Works well to break your tire's bead.

This tool works as advertised.It will enable you to break the bead on your tire, but not without effort. I used these on a BMW R1200 17 inch rim to remove a Bridgestone Battlax rear tire. This is a bias belted tire and it was not warm. It was not an easy task.<br />So perhaps I have tested the upper limits as to what one can do with this tool. The tool itself is well made and serves as a bead breaker and tire iron.

4 Stars

Perfect

First tire irons I've used ever. Worked like a charm.Write

Made tie break down alot easier

simple design yields excellent results. Much preferred to the c-clamp method. Would purchase again!

Better than my old spoons

I was skeptical at first on how well these would work for breaking the beads on seven year old tires, but they worked great.

New motorcycle series. "Breaking Bead"

Good stout tools. Makes changing tires easy. I wont let the dealer touch my rims now.

Would be even better if there were three

The bead breaker is a little difficult to use on my tires, but that's probably due to the tires. I would love to have a third as it would come in handy at certain parts in the removal/installation process

worked

with a drawer full of tire bars I got these for the bead breaker. worked great no complaints

Was unable to break the bead with these tire irons. Will need to take it to the shop.

Makes changing tires easy

Makes changing tires easy! I was able to change the rear tire on a dirtbike in about 20 minutes.

Made the tire change easy

No need to rely on a shop for a tire change. These tools are easy to use and made maintaining my bike fully self sufficient.

MC tire bead breaker

Used it the other day...quick & easy. Thanks

Awesome tire tools!

The Motion Pro Tire Bead Breaker work very well! It made my tire repair so easy! Highly recommended!

Works like a charm

Great product overal. Makes popping the bead of your tire so easy.

4-Star

Works great and very easy

Seem to do the job, but I foresee damaging the opposite end of the fork bar. I had to pound on it with the other bar to get the fork in deep enough to the rim before prying in order to break the bead.

Work great

Nice set of tire bars. Quick and easy to use!

Awesome

Handy little tool. Works great

Motion Pro BeadPro

not like the video when you have an older skinnier spoked wheel with tub its a bear to get it off but the tool dose work maybe get the pro bead buddy II and 2 more tire irons and use soap the tool does work good luck

This tool works great. I use it a lot

Easy to use.

Work great, especially combined with standard ones

These were great for installing the tire as they're lower profile than the standard ones. They slide easier as they don't grip the wheel rim, which made them more difficult to keep in place removing the tires though. I just used the normal rim protectors for removal for that reason.

Great tool

These work great. I decided to take the plunge and learn how to change my own tires since I don't really trust any of the local shops. They make breaking a bead and installing a tire quite easy. They're not cheap but they work very well for their intended purpose.

Motion Pro BeadPro

What can one say about bead breakers. These work as they are intended. Do they work as well as tire shop bead breakers? No, but they will get the job done with some work. Still, they are worth a 5 star rating even though they are pricey.

Worked great. Better than my old pair of spoons.

Is not as easy as the video on YouTube shows you but with a bit of patience they work perfectly fine just make sure you go around the whole wheel if you can't break the bead they eventually pop the bead second time doing it you'll do it much faster than the first time

This is the tool! Was an effortless change on a spoked steel wheel. Bought the Balance Beads and and a tube and put new tire on and was done in less than an hour and I cleaned the rim inside and out! Excellent tool. Get off the fence about buying it. It works great! I saved it's purchse price the 1st time I used it!

Worth every penny

If you have tube tires, then you need these levers. They will break even the stiffest, most stubborn beads. Changed two tires recently on a trip on the side of the road with minimal effort. The levers are nice and long and make removing the tire easy.

Excellent

Once you get the hang of using these, they are pretty excellent. Pops the bead and doesn't damage the tire or rim.

This worked perfect on my front , broke bead easy. However, could Not break bead on back tire. Zx14r. Ended up doing 2x4 method on back rim. Not sure why it was such a pain. Larger bead ?

Best Tire Irons I've Seen

If you want to work on your own tires, regardless of the situation, you need to have tire irons. You don't need to have a bead breaker, but if you can get both, you should. If you can get both in one tool, why get a lesser option?<br />These bead breakers work. I've used them to break the bead on both "new" tires and tires with a lot of mileage. I've also used them as tire irons to unmount and mount tires. In all situations, they do the job.

Bead breaker performs poorly

I was disappointed in the bead breaking ability of these irons. They work fine as tire irons, but it is very difficult to break a stiff bead with these. You're better off getting a real bead breaker and buying separate tire irons. I've used these so I can't return them, so I paid $53 for a set of tire irons.

Great product

These tire irons work very well in helping break stubborn beads. They are extremely durable and are long enough to provide plenty of leverage.

A must have tool for the serious adventure rider

Motion pro made my work in changing my rear tire a little bit easier. <br /><br />This product works as advertised! Highly recommended.

They actually work !!

Running a Shinko E705 130/80-17 on the rear of the Guzzi. I've tried several methods to break the bead on these tires and they all sucked. The Motion Pro Beadpro worked great. I took small bites moving around the tire several times and off it came. I timed myself the first time I used them and broke the bead in 6 minutes without sweating or cussing. Beats using C-clamps or a bumper jack like before.

These work great

I mistakenly ordered these instead of the smaller, lighter aluminum ones. No problem. Even though they are steel, they're not THAT heavy. I had to go around the rim a few times, but the bead did break.<br /><br />I looked at some of the other bead breaker options out there that required assembly and a lot of fiddling. I'm sure they work well, but these are a lot simpler. Sometimes, simple is better.

Worked as advertised and made it much easier to change tires

I would reccomend this product to anyone that changes there own motorcycle tires

Difficult to use

I finally got the bead broken, but I think it would be easier if the tool tip was a little longer giving more leverage.

A great two in one tool!

I decided to change my tires for the first time so I thought I'd try these out. The bead breaker works great, so satisfying to hear that pop when it breaks loose! The tire iron side is curved for extra grippage. They measure 16'' long so there's plenty of leverage, very durable never did they feel like they were going to bend or break. They worked for me a newb!

Works as described.

Only used them on one tire so far. Yes, they're a bit pricey, but they work as expected. It might be cool if the straight ends were shaped more like traditional tire spoons, but they work.

Works great!

I decided to change my own tire this time around so I bought a few tools including this bead breaker. The tool works great for breaking the bead as well as for use as tire irons/spoons. I bought tire irons too but wound up only using this tool because it was longer (more leverage).

Worked perfectly

This was my first tire change - ever...<br /><br />After watching all the video's on how to break the bead using all of the home spun ideas, this seemed like the most elegant solution, if it worked... which it did and it was easy. The tire iron portion of the device worked equally as well, it gave me plenty of leverage which was much better than the spoons I bought. <br /><br />I had to laugh when two other posters mentioned changing their tires in their living room... make that three :)<br /><br />For other first timers doing a tire change, use plenty of Windex or other solution and the tire will slip right off the rim much easier.

These tire levers are great.

These tire levers are great. Easy to use and very strong. I like these so much I'm going to order the shorter aluminum ones for my bike tool kit. I originally thought the price was too high for the aluminum pair but well worth it IMO.

Can't imagine a better tool for the job

This is an awesome product. The only thing it doesn't get 5 stars on is value (they are expensive) but totally worth it. Granted, I've changed hundreds if not thousands of bicycle tires but this is the first time I've changed a motorcycle tire. However I can't imagine a better tool for the job. The bead breaker works exactly as described, super easy. Tire lever part works great too. Took me ~40 min to do both front and rear tires in the living room. One thing I will say, I'm very glad I went with the extra long steel version - I could feel them bending slightly as I pried the tire onto my 16" rear wheel. It would've been tough with the shorter aluminum version. Overall though, couldn't be more impressed. Pay the extra and get the right tool, you won't regret it.

Great, Easy to Use

I bought these to carry on my tube tired dual sport. I decided to install heavy duty tubes immediately after receiving these bead breakers to test them out and they worked as advertised.<br /><br />Breaking the bead was easy and using them as tire irons was as expected. This beats my past trail side bead breaking using the kickstand! Overall a great, high quality product as are all Motion Pro tools I've ordered, I would recommend them.

moTion pro bead breaker

great product. Easy to carry on bike assuming you are competent at tubeless tire changes, this breaks the bead with a little help from one additional tire iron. Once you've separated the bead while holding the bead breaker down,use your third iron with the spoon curve down like your trying to remove he tire and just inch your way around. Only takes about three or four inches. Then it poops off the bead.<br />Sounds harder than it is.<br />Much easier than trying to use the bikes side stand by yourself on the trail.<br />Yee Haw

Great tool for the trail and the garage

Had to replace my rear tire for the first time but I wanted to be able to also change a tube on the trail as one day, it will inevitably happen. My first intention was to get this tool for breaking the bead but since I was going to be in the safety of my garage, I wanted to test them as tire irons as well. I got the short version (10 inch?) and I liked the fact that I coud slide it under the disc while priming the first part of the bead off the rim. Obviously the small size will help carring it in the tool roll.As for breaking the bead, well...it could not be easier. The tool worked flawlessly and I feel ready to repeat the whole thing on the trail. Invest in your tools...will last longer and make your life so much easier
