Bead Breaker
A bead breaker is a tool or machine function that separates the tyre bead from the wheel rim by applying controlled force. Beads can bond tightly to rims over time, especially on corroded or alloy wheels. Bead breakers are integrated into most tyre changers but portable versions are essential for mobile tyre fitting and roadside breakdown services.
