Postby shootinmanbwh » Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:54 am

Im looking for a portable bead breaker to carry on my quad. Does anyone have any ideas as to which is a good one that is not too big. Im sure one of you kamikazees on this site know of one.

Jack has some.....


There's always the tried and true.....driving over the tire and WD-40.

Do you know which brand of bead breaker Jack has? I have tried the wd40 a couple of times in the past, and it doesnt always work.

This is the one I have worth the money you can pop jeep tires or quad tire s go's from 4" to 19" wheels .Very strong and beefy the other brands are not that well built .,plus it has room to carry bars and tools inside the pouch. http://www.extremeoutback.com tire bead breaker sorry couldn't the link to work..

Im assuming you are talking about the "tyrepliers". Those are the ones that I was looking at getting, but I was a little unsure of how well they work. Thanks a million.

yes they are the tyrepliers and I would recommend them they take a little getting used to but work awsome .I always carry them in the jeep and quad ,plus always carry a tube in case of a gash in the tire .

When all else fails there's always the "Hower Method" for breaking beads........

Me too Bill...I went for a ride...thought the tire was mushy....put the gauge on it....and nothin'. According the cabelas low tire pressure gauge, I had none.

It was just a little soft...not bad for no air.

i let as much air as i could out at pismo but unless you take out the valve stem you will always have just a little maybe 1/2 psi

but i will say that the aired down big horns are great on sand dunes

psiA or psiG?? :lol:

Careful how you answer, one is less than atmosphere so that means you're sucking on the valve stem after you pull it. LMAO!!!

Pull the valve stem and you will ALWAYS have atmosphere - which is 1 psiA (actually 14.7 psi but I don't want to confuse things even more) or 0 psiG.

Your science lesson for the day. :wink:

Space - vacuum. Both gauges would read negative.
