Yeah, frozen paintballs * hurt. Its like throwing rocks at people... The onyl differance is its with a gun at about 300MPH. I do need nitro because C02 sorta messes with my e-bolt lines.

Today I picked up the Tire Irons from my friend to ease the pain of putting the tire on. lol. Funny thing is, I STILL don't have the tire, but I DO have soap and water and Tire Irons for when it finally comes. It's kinda like having a baby and preparing for it, even though I wouldn't personally know I can kinda guess.

I actually don't have a problem with putting tires on, it is very easy on sprees. I just manhandle it on just a little at a time, no soap or anything. Just be careful not to puncture the tube. lol

Did you use Tire Irons or screw drivers?

I just use regular large flat head screwdrivers. I find it easier to take off old tires because there is not worry of hurting anything fruther, unless you are actually replacing a tire because it is out of tread. I have never really had one blow out, just a couple that leaked just a little. I have changed many tires. I put 2 brand new ones on my friends spree. The tires for sprees are VERY cheap, at least the ones I bought. They were only $12.00 each from servicehonda, and they are very good tires. Just be sure with a screwdriver to not harm the sidewall if you plan to use the tire again and especially when putting a tire on not to pinch the tube. Tubes are easily harmed by sharp objects as I am sure you all know. When you get it all on the rim, take the tire and kind of pinch it all around the whole rim to loosen any tube that is bunched up of that is between the sidewall of the tire and rim. Basically just make sure that all the tube is inside the actual tire. Otherwise you could risk a blowout and/or a small leak. The main thing is to just take your time and be careful when changing tires.

I'll take that into consideration when I put my tire on. The *' thing is STILL not here.
