He used to make me do it, too, when I was about 11 or 12. He would cut off the sidewall, and then give the tire to me. I would stand on
it, pressing down the "corner", and then slowly step wider, whle pulling with my hands to help it turn. Took awhile, but I got 'em. Did learn the reason for gloves, though... <g>
Oh, I liked the radials better than standard tires. They flipped easier. Less common at the time than they are now.
