222 Help putting tires on

[andyquirot]

Hi all
How do you put the tires on the rims.
I've tried heating them up with hot water they don get flexible enough.
I've tried washing up liquid but they just slip off.

HELP

Dead easy place your tyres in boiling water and simmer for at least 20 minutes this will get the tyres nice and soft, place a wheel face down, using a pair of large screwdrivers as tyre leavers place the tyre on the rim and leaver them into position as you would a normal tyre, failing that you could clamp the bottom of the tyre in a vice firmly and again incert you wheel then using your leavers to position the tyre.
Don't use liquid soap as it contains salt and will corrode your wheels plain water is enough to help slip the tyre into place.

Failing that send me your wheels and tyres I can fit them.
