Hi Max. I have never seen anybody use plastic tie wraps to install a tire before. Is there a chance you could create a tire change video, similar to what Scotty just did for the oil change, and post a link to it the next time you change a tire? I like your home made bead breaker. When I've been faced with a nasty tire that the bead just won't break I carefully support the wheel assy on the floor and place a 2 X 6 on the tire similar to a ramp, from the floor onto the tire, and drive my car up the 2 X 6 - works like a charm, every time. I have given up changing street bike tires mounted on painted rims because it is too difficult to keep from scratching the rim, but I change dirt bike tires all the time (my dirt bike rims are all scratched up from the tire irons).
