How To Change Your Go Kart Tyres WITHOUT Tyre Tools (VERY Easy)

[@sergiunicolae7117]

Very helpful video, when I’m at the track I always joke with my mechanic that real champions change their own tires and he never has time to teach me how to change them but now I can complete the joke and change my own tires

[@RedExions]

Good luck man! It does take a little bit of practice

[@terrier53]

Just awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Bram. I was planning on purchasing tire tongs early this spring but after seeing this I'll be trying your method.

[@RedExions]

Yes, just give this a try. You can always purchase those tongs later if you can't do it by hand

[@stephrace]

Great! Thanks for the video. Very well explained and clear. You are a Pro. I am now ready to do my tires thanks to you.

[@francklambert-o7d]

Excellent. I love that method. Hard to begin and very easy when you have understood. Congratulations.

[@AFFMotorsport]

Love the old school method of doing tyre changes, it can also be quicker then using the tongs.

[@RedExions]

Yes exactly. I could probably do it quicker by hand than with that tool

[@hockeyplayersnetwork3307]

Thank you for doing this video, I just completed my first tire change and this helped enormously!

[@Robert-f4x9k]

Great presentation. Needed some guidance for changing mower tyres without tools.

[@culerone]

Good video ! It helped me allot to change my first karting tires 😎👌💪

[@woutmelis8828]

8:25 I can just hear you almost lose it, that was too funny LMAO, at 9:57 as well, that smile lol

[@RedExions]

Yes this video had waaay too many innuendos lol

[@robh952]

Great videos, really help me as a new karter, thankyou!

[@RRT_Lucas]

That’s cool never knew that was possible will be trying this 👍🏻

[@RedExions]

Yes mate just practice. It's a really usefull skill to have

[@hotslide9152]

Had a lot of trouble using this method for changing my first pair of brand new cold tyres those thing were so hard to like bend and fold on

[@papagia1234]

Put them on the sun before trying to change them or use o heat gun .they will be softer enough

[@michaelbakker9830]

Je legt alles zo goed en duidelijk uit, heerlijk om naar te kijken, super leuk man!! keep it going!!!🤩🤩

[@RedExions]

Top dat je het leuk vindt!

[@chuala428]

As a recent 1st time podium finisher in Micromax I find this useful to change my tires to all rookie tires from mojo tires

[@RedExions]

Congrats on the podium man! This really is a usefull skill to have

[@chuala428]

@@RedExions yeah thanks I was supposed to get 2 but I got Verstappened (Abu Dhabi 2021) by my biggest competitor

[@OwenHudson-d2c]

This was very helpful thank you so much

[@dragsterkeene22]

Took me a minute but finally got better at it thank you!

Very good video, I will try that for sure!

Thanks bro worked for me in new Zealand

[@simonmillar3488]

Great video 😉👍🏻😎🏁

[@judeanderson2607]

This really was excellent and helpful. Thank you 😁

[@janoliver8713]

good video, but a couple of additions: - while inflating, it is correct that the rim has to point to the side in case of failures, but also keep your hands away if possible… just recently there was a guy that fractured his hand and wrist in three different places while popping on the tires and the rim burst. He had his hand inside the rim while inflating - do not exceed the max pressure of the tire while inflating/popping on. Often this is about 4-4,5 bar. Do not over inflate and 5-6 bar is often too much. Instead you can purchase a tire band/use some wide straps etc. that goes around the tire and helps push out the sides at lower presures.

[@TheTallRaver]

Great video, my man! Thanks!

[@flakey7832]

Took me two hours to take off my tires but I did it. It works

[@barryverhage4609]

als ik me nieuwe banden der op wil zetten en me lucht er in wil doen gaat ie aan een kant maar voor de helft over dat randje heen en sluit ie dus niet goed aan omdat ie der niet over heen schiet

[@F1-V-11]

Thank you for this info😊

[@Salamander-mt2bt]

Worked perfectly

[@kasperevensen]

I'm wondering if you can still use the tire after changing it, cause it get really bent. I need answer fast!

[@spekky9012]

How much pressure is safe to put in the tire before it blows?

[@meemer58]

Great job!

[@Mr.Voysey]

There’s not enough space to fold the tire the rim is in the way??

[@nielskiekebosch]

hey matez just saw that u're tires have a yellow stripe, mines have a red stripe and we both drive exact same kart, does that mean anything or am i driving with wrong tires?

[@RedExions]

Red stripe is the D2 tyre, so for Junior Max. D5 has the yellow stripe and is for Senior. Also, D5 has quite a bit more grip

[@nielskiekebosch]

@@RedExions well i have the wrong tires then well being just slightly of the pace with the fastest guys on wrong tires, as a completly new driver kinda feels very good. thanks for telling me i'll drive on them till theyre dead and then get the D5's, cheers man

[@neuralfraud]

dang bro try this on some hard evinco (MG) blue tires! lol. I gave up and took them to the tire shop.

[@AJsRacingJourney]

Awesome tips! Are you Dutch by chance?

[@tescopiwo]

Your zip up sweater looks nice ! Where di you buy it i need one !!

[@RedExions]

Hey man, this is old teamwear from a team we used to run with and work for. The brand is Freem !

[@nTraxX89]

Need tutorial for Vega White Front tires, thanks 😅

[@TheLeadpepper]

Thanks finally did my tyres..

[@federicozanette6261]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@michael897]

Very nice! New tyres would be a bit more difficult, but wouldn't you be a bit concerned about damaging tyre walls with all the bending and flexing of the tyres?

[@RedExions]

I've never damaged my tyres by doing it this way

[@michael897]

@@RedExions I'll have to give it a try it this way because l don't like how the tool scratches the rims

[@gertebert]

That smile at 6:31 :)

[@juliandavidarangochalarca6799]

Man nice video

[@isaacdann1419]

hi mate, just wondering how you join a karting team, ive been wanting to for like 3 years, any help would be greatly appreciated🙂

[@RedExions]

Hey man, it's literally just a matter of giving them a call and then paying the bill afterwards

[@hegyo7969]

I'd like to see you do this with Evinco Blues

[@datageekkarting8372]

Great video! Quick Question: would you wrap brand new tyres in plastic foil to stop the grip going off as well?

[@ovedach]

was that a Trully Kart on the wall??? Btw. we meet in Roskilde - i was the kz2 dad/driver (both)

[@flurs1301]

Where could I buy mojo d5 tyres?

[@RedExions]

I would say my sponsor K-racingshop.com where you can get a 10% discount with code RED10 , but they currently don't sell Mojo D5. I'd then suggest checking out your local Rotax dealer

[@david906]

Ziet er erg makkelijk uit, maar leg je ook een nieuwe set banden met je hand erop? Deze zijn namelijk een stuk stijver dan een gebruikte set

[@RedExions]

Ja hoor, geen probleem

[@takoyakira1643]

6:30 ayo Red what are you doin'?

[@RedExions]

This is a really good opportunity to make a cheap joke about your female parent, but I wont :)

We hit the button 😎

[@zoomosis]

I like how the rear rim looks like a trophy.

[@RedExions]

I see what you mean lmao

[@landonorris4342]

Doesn‘t work the tyre doesn’t wanna go on the rim dude what do i do wrong

[@jerry_li524]

power republic和你我都关注了，你们做的内容都很棒，我收获很多

[@Mr.Voysey]

My tires aren’t folding I don’t understand

[@bukharijabarazman2700]

It’s like taking tyres of LEGO speed champions cars😂😂😂

[@RedExions]

Well, it's basically the same

[@mrvnkart]

Ok the real question is: How many girls he picked up with this ? 🤣🤣🤣

[@danitsja4064]

One to be exact, me :)

[@RedExions]

Yes :)

[@anthonymanning7690]

do it with a mini bike tire

[@mitchellkristoff243]

Good with a mojo but if you are trying to mount brand new leconts/mgs this is borderline impossible especially if it’s a cold day. I’ve had tons of friends use tire tongs and never heard of any damage to rims. Save your wrists and get a set

[@RedExions]

I can do LeCont's too, no problem. MG I have never tried

[@henryfranken3389]

Usefull thank will try it

[@thargor6750]

8foot 2x4 piece of wood wedged under a car tire makes a very cheap tire press 😄

[@RedExions]

Just be carefull you don't damage your rims ;) A tyre press can usually be had for around 30-40 bucks

[@Retiredatlast65]

Not with brand new hard compound tires. Has anyone noticed every one of these guys mounting tires by hand are old soft tires ???

[@strykerjones8842]

The “edge” you describe in the beginning of the video is actually the “rim”. The part that you refer to as the rim is actually the wheel. In other words the rim is the part of the wheel that forms the air tight seal. Not trying to be a know it all, just passing a little old man knowledge to the younger generation. Nice video by the way.

[@jaimydelissen9779]

top video, hier heb je wat aan

[@crispylsnipezl8630]

If you think a certain way this video is so funny

[@rickyhutchings2263]

I always forget to lube the hole😂😊

[@aralsea1]

SL22 tires are not as easy by hand.

[@wafif2709]

14:10 JJAJAAJJAJAJAJ

[@sielracing]

Nah you made that look way to easy, what if the sidewall is to hard. Do you have any tire tools at all beside the scissors

[@RedExions]

Nope, I just have the press and I don't think there are many tools. The tyres that I used in this video actualy have a decently hard wall

[@Retiredatlast65]

No, tire tools do NOT harm the rim. Been using one for 15 years, never had a problem. Maybe thats because i have been a mechanic for 47 years, and know how to use tools.

[@joshuaman1126]

Old tire is way softer than a new one

[@irishamerican4558]

👍

[@ebiofzo7441]

Im going to this pure so i can get a sister from a other driver 😅

[@RedExions]

Good luck on your quest mate

[@Retiredatlast65]

Young man, lets see how those hands are doing in only 20 years, they will no longer work properly. TOOLS are designed to do the job easier and smarter.
