but me and a few people in Third World countries still change tires by using a Jack-All to break the bead and a couple of tire irons and a rubber mallet to remove and install tires? :?

So for $15-18 (depending on tire size) I can get a new tube and tire change. He also carries a fair number of used tires that still have a lot of life in them for seed drills, wagons, etc. which can be had for $10 a piece. So if you have a blown tire, you can get a good tire, tube and change for less than $30.
I've seen far too much time wasted by people trying to dismount and remount tires to bother with it. But then again, I think time is worth something, and find it unacceptable for one man to waste more than 1/2 an hour on a single tire.
But yes, BMR, I know of a few that still change tires that way.

And then the irons come out. :?
