are tires harder to put on the wheels when they are cold, cus this second one doesn't wanna go on for 
If I wait it's gonna rain this afternoon I know it.
Oh yeah no dang dish liquid in the house either. And the diluted with water crap aint workin so well either. First one went on so easy when it was in my basement. My arms are spaghetti from doing this over the past two days.

I would think a warmer tire is a bit more pliable and easier to contort. The dish is kinda a must, gots to make it slippery.
Bar soap might work???

Well I take back what I said about taking two days to mount tires. NOT GONNA HAPPEN BY MYSELF.
Oh yeah, BTW. It's 34 degrees out too. You guys liking that 70 degree office sitting on those phones? lol. Stressful? Try answering phones outside. haha J/K.

they are baking in th sun now that I got sun in my back yard. Picked up some dish liquid too. And I ran outta cigarette tubes too. Oh yeah, most of the time I roll my own smokes as well to save money. Girlfriend buys her own cartons from work. Cheaper than the store, but....
BTW: My back yard is a sea of tires as well. Of course she made a big deal about me cleaning it up too.
By the time I am done mounting this the rim isn't gonna look like I touched it with paint. LMAO.

1 down, 2 more to go and then got to redo the one at Jerry's or figure a way to paint the wheel and not the tire. lol.
Got to at least unmount 1 more 31 for the wheel as well. 3 31's are still mounted though.

Tires, at least the important ones, mounted. Still have to do the spare yet and paint that other wheel that Jerry has at his house.
So Much easier with Dish Liquid. lol.
Note to self though, make sure valve stem is in wheel prior to putting tire on wheel.

One more question before tomorrow. These Energy Suspension poly bushings came with two what I thing is grease tubes. Should I use those or my waterproof grease that I pretty much use on everything else as far as zirks and stuff go.
Energy Suspension FORMULA 5 Prelube
* Waterproof
* Non-Melting
* Contains Teflon
* It forms a tough, durable, chemical resistant film of lubricant
* Prevents Metal to Metal Contact even under severe shock loads
* Only a small amount is needed to properly lubricate bushings and metal components and to prevent corrosion
BTW, 3 33's, air compressor and most of my tools and Jerry's tools that I borrowed are loaded into the truck, ready to go down Jerry's.
