Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to standard tire mounting bars?
Unlike generic tire irons, the ESCO 20430 features a specialized lip design that prevents bead damage and works specifically around reverse hub configurations. Standard bars often take "large bites" that can tear tire beads, while this tool provides controlled movement and better leverage in tight spaces.
Will this work on my 17.5" reverse hub rims?
Yes, this tire mounting bar is specifically designed for reverse hub 17.5" and 19.5" rim combinations. The unique mounting lip allows technicians to work around the hub area where standard tools struggle to fit or provide adequate control.
What makes this better for truck tire installation?
The 34" length provides optimal leverage for larger truck tires, while the dual-angle tip design (curved and straight edges) adapts to different mounting situations. The heavy-duty steel construction handles the demands of commercial tire mounting without bending or breaking.
Can I use this for smaller tires like ATV or trailer tires?
Absolutely. While designed for truck tires up to 24.5", this mounting bar works excellently on smaller applications including ATV tires, trailer tires, and other wheel combinations where precision mounting is important.
