Abstract
A tool for removing a tire from a wheel rim includes an elongated body member with a handle at one end and a tool head at the other end. The tool head includes a tire engaging member having at least one tire bead support and terminating in at least two laterally spaced apart tire contact parts. The tool head further includes a rigid, L-shaped wheel rim engaging member terminating in a wheel rim contact part. The wheel rim contact part is sufficiently spaced from the tire engaging member to accept a wheel rim flange therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, each of the at least two tire contact parts and the wheel rim contact part has a rotatable roller.
