Fix a Motorcycle Flat Tire

Step 4Pry the tire with the first iron

Pry the tire with the first iron
Push the tire down away from the rim all the way around. That unseats the tire's "bead". That makes it loose enough to pry it up and over at one end.
Take the first tire iron and pry the tire over the rim. If it's hard to do this, push the tire down on the other side to keep it from springing up and reseating on the rim.

Make sure you don't pinch the innertube between the tire iron and anything else. That would puncture it.
