Tire changing tool
I'm looking for a particular tire removal tool that my indy used. He has passed on. It was a flat bar approximately 12" long and 1½" to 2" wide. It had a nylon/plastic piece on one end that had a curved groove in it to fit bead of wheel. Anyone know what I'm referring to? Thanks.

Sounds like your average tire iron

Tire iron/spoon/lever.
Better ones are thinner, curved like you describe, and more expensive. Cheap ones are chunkier, and generally straighter.
They all work. Even screwdrivers will work. But good ones work better.

I have googled it. It's not just a regular tire spoon. I have those. He made tire changing a look like a breeze with this tool.
