Beetle tires were easy to change with two tire irons. Breaking the bead loose could be difficult, though. Breaking the bead on the newer, wider rims without a professional tire changer was nearly impossible. Gerry
I changed a tire on my old VW bug once, about 1972. Taught me that while you CAN do it, the proper tools are really very very nice and save lots of work.
