Take em to a real tire shop and they'll probably do it for free.Or you could do it the old fashioned way w/screwdrivers & elbowgrease.

If you want to do it yourself I would suggest a trip to Harbor Freigt in Casselberry. They sell a bead breaking tool with all the prying tire tools needed, for pretty cheap.  I used this tool on my 2 old yamahas and it only took me about 4 hours to do 8 tires.  Or you could just save yourself the frustration and go to a tire shop.
