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

I initially had purchased the steel, long version of these. Thye worked very well, but were not good for carrying on the bike when touring (which was my intent). These aluminum ones are what I should have bought in the first place. They are short enough and light enough to stow easily. The steel ones will stay in the garage, and these will go with me when I travel. They very easily break the bead, which is often the most difficult part of changin/repairing tires by hand. Highly recommended.

If you debating if the smaller aluminum ones are strong/long enough for your needs. They are. I have broken 17in street tires, 21/18 dot dirt tires (D606), 19/16 dirt tires, 19/16 dot dirt tires (hard side walls) and the hardest yet for some reason a 18in sand tire using the smaller version. I have broken beads using the kickstand method, the 3 spoon method and straight up jumping on it and I would much rather have these. They dont work very well as tire spoons though. They could work in an emergency as spoons but I have a real set of spoons I bring with me as well because these suck as spoons.

I like the double use, bead breaker and tyre irons Very clever design

Prompt shipment, appreciated that. Appear very sturdy.

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.

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.

They are nice quality and do not scratch your rims if you are very careful. The main problem I have is that they are incredibly difficult to use to remove any moderately stiff tire. If you have softer sport or offroad tires these will probably work perfectly but if you have sport touring or touring tires they are not long enough to give you the proper leverage and you will find yourself struggling. If they didnt get marred from using them I would definitely return them and get a set of considerably longer irons

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these two tools work together to break the bead, with very little effort, and also by their light weight.The only reason Im giving four stars instead of five is that I would like them to be longer, to give more leverage/torque for the spoon side. I know they make longer ones, but those are heavier steel. Otherwise, this is a seriously good tool; a roadside motorcycle mechanics life-saver!

Get em.

Im unable to get enough leverage/separation with this tool on my KLR650 tires (front or back). It will pull the bead away, but not enough to retain some space when I pull it out and move it around the rim. The bead goes right back into place when I remove it. Therefore, still have to carry a 5 c-clamp to break & hold the bead, then I use this tool to work the bead off around the rim. Maybe its the geometry of my rims, but this isnt my primary bead break tool for trail riding. Tool is built very strong, but cant rely only this tool.
