This is a great looking tire and will replace any 10 X 1.75, which is a fairly common size on older wagons and some pedal cars. They can be a bit of a booger to mount, but there's just no way around that. This isn't for any other reason than the size and girth of the tire, it has nothing to do with a lack of quality or anything like that. It can be done, though! After a lot of internet research and some advice from one of Speedway's pedal car techs, I found that the method that works the best (in my opinion) was to bake the tires on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes or so at 250 degrees. Have no fear, they won't melt, ooze, distort or burn. I clamped a piece of 3/8"" round bar into my vice vertically and placed a wheel onto it, just to hold the wheel in place while I pulled the tire onto it. I then took a tire out of the oven, one at a time (while wearing thick welding gloves) and started kneading and stretching it while carrying it out to the vice. You'll find that they are very pliable, much like working with a rubber heater hose; they'll twist and bend, but are not easily stretched, if that makes sense. I placed one side of the tire into groove of the wheel on the opposite side from me, and pulled and rolled the tire around and over the other side. Eat you Wheaties, it's a work-out! but it's not impossible. After the tire was mounted, it was still warm and pliable enough to adjust and center up into the wheel. After that, I placed the wheel/tire aside to cool, placed another wheel onto the round bar and went after the next tire. They came out great and look awesome on the rear of my son's custom Roadster/Rat wagon!
