The Best Tire Spoons (Review) in 2020

First up is Motion Pro’s Forged Steel Tire Bead Breaker. Constructed from heavy-duty chrome vanadium forged steel with an appealing black oxide finish, the ergonomic design features a cross guard that stops your hand from riding forward. Also, the 16-inch-long handle is long enough to ensure that tire removal is quite easy.

Although every tire removal takes a little patience, this tool is able to break the bead on large sports bike wheels or lawn tractors in no time at all. However, the tool will damage the paint on the inside of the wheel. If this bothers you, purchase Motion Pro’s RimShield to protect against unwanted blemishes. Otherwise, Motion Pro’s model is a good option.

Mounting tires is certainly not an easy task, but with Ken-Tool’s automotive accessory we promise that installation will be a breeze. Created by top-quality manufacturers in America, this product has been called a ‘work of art’ by designers and buyers alike thanks to its aesthetic design as well as its ability to get under a rim easily.  

Compared to other bulky tools that are thick and have impossibly sharp ends, Ken-Tool’s model is molded smoothly and makes it under tire rims without any problems. If you’re still unsure, the price of this model allows even the most pessimistic among us to try the product. Ken-Tool raises the bar with this tire spoon.

Dr.Roc’s 11-inch Tire Spoon Lever Kit features a fantastic selection of high-quality tools. Each professional tool is made from indestructible automotive-grade forged steel, which is able to withstand rust, adverse weather – you name it.  We think that we could fling one of these tools into a volcano and it would emerge unharmed. And it’s obvious that Dr.Roc thinks so too, considering it has placed a no-hassle lifetime warranty on its desirable design.  

The ergonomic design and anti-skid handle will protect your hands as well as your sanity when you’re working on your tires. And if you buy the full set, you can use the rim protectors to prevent scratches. If you’re looking for a new go-to spoon, this is a good option.

Fasmov’s set of three tire spoons is a good addition to your toolbox. These items are manufactured from durable forged steel and are heat treated to optimize their strength and durability. Inexpensive, small, and lightweight, they’re every handyman’s dream.

What we love the most about Fasmov’s creation is its ability to flip 180 degrees, making it ideal for stiff knobbled tires on your motorcycle. In addition, the 11.7-inch length prevents accidental tube pinching and ensures your hands don’t get in the way of the tire installation process. If you’re searching for a product you can rely on, then Fasmov’s model does the job.

Many buyers may look at Ken-Tool’s items in comparison to other inexpensive models and run for the hills. Yet, its tool tire iron set is a high-quality product. Although it’s aesthetically dull looking, the red handles are ergonomically designed to fit snugly in a user’s hand. Plus, they keep people from gouging the tire wheel when on the job.

Many users are dissuaded by the tire spoons’ sharp bend. However, this bend expedites the mantling and dismantling process. Many seasoned home mechanics claim the angle is helpful in starting the tire bead over the rim during removal and installation. What’s not to like?

Core Tools’ CT11 Spoon Type Tire Iron is a product you didn’t know you needed until you couldn’t live without it. Let’s start with the handle, which couldn’t be more ergonomic if it tried. This aesthetic deep-blue handle is looped to comfortably fit around your hand and is made of rubber for additional comfort. This rubber texture prevents accidental slippages and mishaps from ruining your work.

Due to its 10-inch length, this tire spoon is ideal for removing and installing smaller motorcycle wheels. Many believe you need two separate tire spoons for bigger and smaller vehicles, so purchasing one of these is the deal of a lifetime if you’re in need of a spoon suited for petite wheels. If you want a life free from pinched tubes, try out this model while it’s still available.

If you love new tire spoons, you’ll really love Motion Pro’s Bead Buddy 2. It holds one side of the tire and let the user set a bead on a spoked wheel. That’s right – you’ll no longer wish you had a third tire spoon at your disposal! Constructed from durable aluminum with a blue anodized finish, the Bead Buddy is a top notch, high-quality product.

This ‘helping hand’ for DIYers sticks like glue when placed on the spokes but is often criticized for being difficult to get on and off. To alleviate this issue, we recommend applying a soap-based solution over the bead that will allow this device to slide on and off without any hassle.

Wanheyao is one of the underdogs of the tire industry and has changed the game entirely by releasing its package of 14.5-inch tire spoons. Designed for changing mountain bike tires and other medium-sized tires, the inclusion of three tire spoons rather than two makes it easier to pop that bead. All three tire spoons are stored in a carry bag hat is designed to keep the tools together.

It makes perfect sense that the manufacturer placed a no-hassle, one-year warranty on its product, which is created from hardened automotive grade steel. The polished chrome finish only further highlights that these tire spoons are first class. And with a skid proof, easy-grip rubber handle, it’s hard not to fall even further in love with these beauties.

Whoever said bigger was better was on to something. One of the tire spoons in Core Tools’ three-man tire iron set is a whopping 16 inches, allowing it to possess optimal leverage when navigating through tricky tire jobs. The other two 8.5-inch tire spoons, although smaller, are perfect for keeping the bead adjusted.

The manufacturer thought of everything, even molding one side of the tool to be flat to hold and pry and embellishing the other with a curve to grip the bead to a greater degree. It has even fabricated its model out of forged steel and then heat treated it to render it practically indestructible. Our advice is to buy this product soon before it’s gone.

Last but not least, the notorious Ken-Tool is back to steal customer’s hearts with its Black Tire Tool. The 16-inch tire iron possesses just the right assortment of bends on each end to maintain a better grip on the rim and the tire bead in all kinds of delicate positions. Manufactured in the USA, it’s a straightforward steel rod with a grey powdercoat finish that is able to transform your nights in the garage from tragic to terrific.

Satisfied customers have a lot to say about this beloved tire spoon and  love to rave about the flattened edges, which work like a champ on tricky tires. Although this product is technically for smaller tires, the angled ends even allow it to tackle larger models. If you apply enough force to destroy this durable product, chances are you’re destroying the tire too.
