My son has one of those HF tire changers. You don't need one for a Model A and I am sure it WILL scratch your rim. Follow 160B's directions with a garbage bag. If you have never worked on one find a club member who has. Change them on a warm day, best if you set them in the sun for awhile, cold temps makes the rubber hard. Once you do it you will never consider taking them to have it done, just think about those who came before us changing then on the side of the road. I also lay them on a piece of old carpet to protect the paint on the down side.
