Now your wheel should wiggle out.. 0_1467845800042_IMG_20160706_185532.jpg

Now you will need a valve removal tool. Tire slime comes with one and I do suggest it. I will talk about that later on.. 0_1467845905989_IMG_20160706_185547.jpg

Time to remove the old tire.. it can be tricky by hand.. a set of tire spoons will help. Do not use screw drivers.. tire spoons are cheap .. or a local bike shop can do it.. but that's money were all trying to save.. if you get spoons try not to scratch up the inside of the rim because you don't want to leak air later on..

Also make sure when removing the tire the side with the air valve is up.. the tire ONLY comes off in one direction and installs the same way.. 0_1467846244589_IMG_20160706_185931.jpg 0_1467846258986_IMG_20160706_185918.jpg

Done...

I forgot to mention...buy a small 4oz bottle of tire slime for 6$... the factory used it and I also recommend it. tire was also bought from tsracing.com they are alot of help if you call.. they sell the Onewheel too so they know what tire you need..

I highly recommend the same tire.. DO NOT get a treaded tire.. it's dangerous because larger rocks can get jammed and end ending results would not be good.. there probably is a harder compound slick tire with the same size but i never checked. Also I highly recommend staying with vega tires because not all companies make them the exact same size even with the exact same number..
