Greetings, Gang,

My next question has to do with replacing my Carlisle tires. I have Matco split-rim wheels. Do I have to split the rim to replace the tires, (seems like a lot of work--removing the disk brake caliper and rotor, etc.) or can I pry the bead of the tire over the rim, like you would with a bike or car?



I guess I don't know if the split rim has a diameter that will accomodate stretching the tire bead to get it off.



Anyone have experience with this?



Dave

Got it.

Thanks, guys. 

As a matter of fact, since I posted this, I reached Matco (Andy Green). He was very helpful and pointed me to the service manual download from their website. They'd been closed yesterday due to the holiday.
