You have to go to

I'll try to remember that the next time I'm mounting new tires on my

Different tire. Absolutely no comparison after the part about rubber and
round.

A rim is a rim, a tire is a tire, and a set of tire irons is a set of tire
irons. The last time I had a problem breaking a tire down was on a '51
Chevy. Back then you had a bumper jack with a flat foot plate and the
standard method was to put the plate on the bead and jack away. I knew I had
a problem when the car went up and the bead didn't let go.
