Aaron, how hard is it to change a tire on a rim for my golf cart? The ones i have are all shot and i was going to go down to Tractor supply and pick new ones up. Is there a trick to mounting them on the rim? Any help would be great, thanks!

hey roger. i assume it has 10" rims or so. the hardest part is breaking the beads. without an actual bead breaker, the best way i have found is to use a forklift or tractor bucket. lay the tire on the ground against a wall or something that wont push away, and stab in gently along the sidewall until the blade or fork touches the rim under the lip. push down and hopefully it will pop off. if not you will need to push down as far as you can without losing grip on the tire, and use a prybar and hammer to work it off. getting it on or off the rim is "easy" with a few small spoonbars or flat screwdrivers, and usually a friend.
the small rims are really a pain to do. thats why for the race machines we invested in beadlocks, changing tires is a breeze now!
