Motion Pro 08-0519 BeadPro Tire Bead Breaker and Lever Tool Set

I’ve been charging tires for manny year, now traveling, these are lite wait and I’m sure they will work great,

I was under the impression that this popped off all tires but i think it was intended for dirt bike tires. Tried to do my harley tires and ended up using my vice and c clamps to actually break the bead. The other end is a spoon and its too big to use on my rims without bending the sides of the rim down. Kinda useless to me.

These tire irons work as advertised, and help break a tire bead fairly easily. That being said, they are too thick and too short for mounting a motorcycle tire. I couldnt get enough leverage due to their short length, and their thickness makes them difficult to work a bead onto the rim. So they work for a special purpose, and are useful for a garage tool kit. But these would not be good for a trail riding kit, IMHO.

The design of the tire iron is great...how they fit together and work. They are strong, but Im a pretty big guy and I did bend one. I tried to straighten it but its curved. Also, do yourself a favor and buy the longer set.

Didn’t know there was a difference between the two styles and these aluminum ones are SHORT. If you need ones that actually work for anything bigger than a bicycle tire, get the steel ones.

Arrived on time and they are what they are for ease of use, etc...however, the lightness of these are worth the cost

Works great on KLR 650 tires.

These are short, lightweight tire tools. Their shortness is appropriate to fit in a trail toolkit. There is no other reason not to get the long steel tools that will work much more easily. The lightweight aluminum on these is strong but is no doubt why theyre so expensive. The novel bead-breaker function of the levers works well, but is probably not necessary for dirt bike or dual-sport type tires and wheels. Breaking the bead down is not that hard. Keeping the bead in the drop center is harder, but these dont really help with that. On street wheels with radial street tires, the bead breaker might make a big difference -- I havent tried it. The other end of the tool is a standard tire lever. Its not quite as round as the spoon type. These ends work comparably to the aluminum spoon type from Motion Pro. For a dirt bikes trail kit, I would suggest the 27mm/12-13mm wrench/spoon set (or whatever the axle nut size is for the bike). The 12mm is needed for the bead lock and tire valve stem anyway. Those two spoons are the minimum. Id also suggest at least one Trail Bead Buddy. I cant think of a drawback to these Bead Pro levers, but since the one end of them is probably not needed, theyll work great but not have a place in a minimalist trail tool kit. For a street bike, I really dont recommend any kind of small tire tool. Have a plug kit on the bike for tubeless tires. Get the big tools for the shop.

The fingers are not quite long enough to get the tire off the bead on my bike. I have a Adventure Tourer with spoked rims, and with this Tire Bead Breaker it still takes a lot of effort to break the bead as the fingers do not open wide enough.

I opted for the shorter set of bead breaker for doing my motorcycle tires. I also have a set of ViseGrip C clamps which helped assist in popping the bead lose. I purchased a basic set of tire spoons and plastic rim protectors to help save the painted surface of the rim. Pretty easy to swap tires.
