Pulll the wheel off the bed leg and used the stump and some jumping up and down to break the bead.
Took a file to the rust that was building up inside the wheel.
Detail/clean the wheel since it's off.

Looks like you got the most out of the old tire without running it till it became dangerous. How many miles are on the old tire?

just bought some shinkos myself. how hard is it to take tires off of the rims? especially if you don't have a lot of tools or jack stands, etc.

First time i replaced a tire on a 150cc scooter i had a time doing it. But on a motorcycle or bigger tires its easier.

With just tire levers or pry bars, dish soap, jack and a block.

When you get wheel off bike.
Rear tire remove valve stem release the air and inspect.
Then with any dish soap like Dawn or cheap stuff apply around both sides of tire to the rim. Stand on tire to release bead or use lever tools. You can also use baby powder to lubricate the tire off the rim. I like dish soap since clean up is easy with a hose and dry off with rags.

Use tire levers on one side of tire and then do other side.
Also use something soft to place rims on.
Ive done both my gz tires with dish soap and 14 inch tire levers and body weight.

There are a bunch of videos how.

I like to change tires myself to save on money and trip to a shop and time waiting.

You can increase tire mileage by running a couple pounds pressure above the 2 up pressure that is recommended.
