    Front tires or rear tires? The fronts are small enough that the blunted 
screw driver approach will work. You can use that technique on the rears 
also, depending on your patience and tolerance to pain. <VBG> For my money a 
friend with a tire changer makes the job much easier, especially if you have 
to put tubes in them. :)
