I was having some difficulty breaking the bead of these tires. They're about 5 years old at about 500 hours (Desser retreads - Monster Tires).
Found it really tough to break the bead until I realized I had one of those ubiquitous Black and Decker portable work benches with built-in vise feature. Tire just fits in the opening; made the job real easy.
