those are the most cooperative tires I have ever seen. I wonder if they were 17'' mounted on 16'' rims? Nice tool in any event, can't beat the power of a lever.

I agree! That Blue Cobra demonstration looks way too easy. Those tires look as if i could have done them with a long screwdriver.

In the real world tires that have been run for a long period of time are seldom demounted or mounted as easy as in the demonstration.
Old stiff tires will often almost weld themselves to the rims. I've seen tire guys use versions of the cobra some are better than others. One guy swore by his Beadx with the bronze tool head

The TireSpyder is sure an improvement, BUT, what about the inside dual.

So have they invented a machine that can change that tire WITHOUT removing the outside dual?

When that machine is invented, then they will have something to 'crow' about, eh.
