If you mean snow tires, it's called a pair of pliers and snap ring pliers. At least that's what I always used until they Outlawed them here. Now it's Blizzaks, 215/60/16's.......Excellent tires!!

Blizzaks (y)

I was too poor for those when I had my 88 Camaro, so I used two sandbags in the back with some REALLY skinny tires all around. (Probably 215s )

Sorry bro, I guess I'm used to seeing my 275s all the time

All I know is they were skinny, and they were on stock Camaro rims (15x6?) So maybe they were more like 185s (if they even make those )
