Haha I bought this tire. It was a Pilot Road 4 Trail that's pretty much new and I really like these Michelin's and need a new front tire soon. At least I won't worry about scratching the rims up getting that tire off, so I suppose I could just take it over to Rosey Toes
Any tire machine I've ever seen/used grabs the outside of the rim so hub or no hub wouldn't matter.I'm guessing the tire would have to be removed from this rim with spoons... I can't think of any tire machines I've seen that don't use the hub. Looks like a Pilot Road too; looks a lot like the PR4 I have.
The top and bottom machines still grab the rim lip. The center bar is only to lever against when using the bead tool.Granted, I haven't seen many tire machines as I typically do it myself, but what I had in mind were the manual DIY setups a lot of people have:
Although in this case it doesn't matter about the rim at all, so spoons would work fine and no need to raise the wheel off the ground as no disc to hurt.
