Anyway, this method of tire installation -- provided you're running tubeless tires, it appears -- looks like a cool way to get the job done. But it was mentioned that often the hard part is getting the old tire off. Been there. Trying to pry a 20-year-old tire off a rim can be a real challenge and can leave serious marks even when using the proper tire tools. I gave up when I tried to get the ancient tires of my 78's spoked wheels, and took them down to a tire shop down the street from me that has the machines which will handle motorcycle tires/wheels.
So what did the tire guy do? Instead of using his machine to remove the tire intact, he took a box cutter and cut all the way around the circumference of the tire into and through the sidewall on both sides. When he was done, the tire was separated into three pieces -- the tread section, and two narrow bands with the beads still on the wheel. But since all the tire carcass was gone, and just these bands were left, they were dead easy to pry off the rim, even though the beads were still intact. Took him about five minutes per tire. I stood there, mouth agape, realizing I'd never have need of a tire shop to remove an old recalcitrant motorcycle tire ever again.
