That's correct, but you only use them if the tyre has some nasty wrinkles and or creases. Most modern tyres are of the permanent press variety.

A "tire iron" is a round steel rod with a flattened end, usually about 18" long, used as a pry bar to help in manually changing a tire. Also very handy tool for settling garage or race track disputes...

Sorry for the slang. Was not intending on anyone getting confused. Sold it on eBay for 20.

Meh. The only one who was confused was the one who speaks "The Queen's English" instead of the " 'Muricn" dialect.

I always thought a TYRE (Queens English) iron was used to remove a tyre from a rim, pre tubeless tyres.
