Artifact Overview
Tire irons were used to pry the bead -- or edge -- of an automobile tire away from the wheel rim. Typically, they were used in pairs to work the tire off gradually. These tools were essential when tires still featured separate inner tubes, but they became less important following the move to tubeless tires in the 1950s.
