Thanks Ray, interesting. I never realized there were steel wires in the edge of a tire but it makes sense and explains why they are so hard to remove. Had a relative who owned a service station, back when there were "service stations" and I watched him remove a lot of tires.

A tire bead is the part of the tire that fits on the rim, to lock air in. It has a series of steel wires in it to make the tire fit as tight as possible.

Fun to read solutions where I don't even know what the question is :) I may still not know what a tire bead is but if someone asks I know Harbor Freight carries a tool for it. Love this list!
