Wow that is crazy expensive @36 ea... V61's are stiff and heavy so they can be a little tougher to mount but with time and patience you can walk them on the rim with nothing more than two big screwdrivers and some soap. The key is little tiny bites at the time.. don't try to pry too much at one time..

But like others have said... anyone that does motorcycles, atv's or golfcarts should have a machine that will mount them in seconds.. 8 to 10 bucks a tire around here is the going rate..

Like John Hall said.. having the tools means nothing... its the experience and knowing where to pry and hit.. I worked with a 75 year old guy with terrible arthritis that could mount any tire on any rim with one tire iron and a dinky little tire hammer and never break a sweat... he use to say if you have to fight it you are doing something wrong! But.... he had 50 plus years of experience!
