Tire Change by a Regular Rider, Rabaconda, R1250GS

Tire Change by a Regular Rider with the Rabaconda Tire Changer.
​
I'm just a normal rider changing tires at home to save money. I'm not a mechanic.
​
Tire: Michelin Pilot Road 6
Wheel: BMW R1250GS Rear
This is my 4th tire change using this tool.
​
This tool was used to mount and remove Michelin Pilot Road 6 and Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires (TMM). No issues with either of them. I did fight it a bit the first time with the TMM's because they are very stiff and I had never used this tool before. But once a few lessons were learned, it is much easier!

I'm sure someone will ask. Both tires are great but they are for different purposes. I ride all year. The TMM's are great for mixed environment riding. The Pilot 6's are my go to for wet weather Pacific Northwest road riding.
