It took hand strength to get these on. They seemed to pointed at first but settled quickly.
These are well-made solid rubber tires that fit the wheelchair wheels very well. Like others have said, they can be difficult to get on. Knowing this, after reading many of the reviews here on Amazon, I took the wheels and these new tires to a bicycle shop to have them installed. They tried, but weren't able to get them done, because they were using a small, plastic bicycle tire installation tool, which didn't work.
So, I thought I would just try it myself. I watched the installation video carefully. Then, did exactly as they did and I got the tires on the wheels in about 5 minutes each tire. You must use the two zip ties as they do in the video, and you must hold the tire in place with one hand as you go, as shown in the video.
A very important thing is that you have to have leverage against the wheel as you put the tire on; especially, the further along you go, since the tighter it gets. That is why the video shows the wheel still on the chair during installation--to provide leverage so the wheel doesn't move sideways when you put it on. I actually had the wheels off for my installation, but I leveraged them between the tailgate of my truck and the bed -- holding them in place from moving side-to-side during installation. You cannot get them on without such leverage.
I won't minimize the fact that it takes some muscle to pull the tire up and over the wheel rim with the tool provided, especially, the further you go. But, using the tool, and following the video installation instructions explicitly, it can be done by most reasonable fit people. But, again, the key is to leverage the wheel, or "bind" it in such a way that it doesn't move side-to-side during installation. I didn't use any lubricants, no hot water soaking, etc. They WILL fit, even though it seems like they won't. The rubber can be stretched plenty far enough to install the tires on the wheels.
Watching the installation video made the installation process much easier and quick. It took for both wheels around 30 minutes.
Good solid tire
I was very worried and skeptical about buying this product, but was amazed at the quality of the product, and ease of installation. Everything needed for easy install was in the box, honestly hardest part was getting the old worn tires off the wheels, would recommend to anyone.
