From experience,i recon you will be struggling.
Will these remove tyres from the standard 19” D4 rims?
I know it’ll be difficult, but will it work? I’m not interested in speed as I’m not a professional.

I did a course with Gordon from GOE.. He told us you'll never break the bread on a genuine rim or a compo. He said the compos followed the genuine design for the bead and that's why they don't roll Off. If I remember correctly. I also remember him saying he tried but failed
I have used tyre pliers for many years and they have proven to be the best for me. Including home made options and others. However with a set of "Tuffants" waiting for tyres I have noticed the inside bead is quite wide, so will have to report back..
Is it worth spending $80 on or is a 2nd spare better?

I guess it comes down to weight.. Mind you I am seriously considering carrying a complete second spare these days🙄
yes, but theres a bit of an art to it, many swear words chocks of plastic/wood and tape to protect the rim.
I also suggest some cheater tubes to extend the handles for the jaws.

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
I think you will find that breaking the bead is nigh impossible with tyre pliers.
The P38A uses an AH2 profile (I assume the D4 may be the same - but it could be EH2) and one has to break the bead in the correct spot - I think it's opposite the valve stem

It also comes down to what tyres you are running,and their condition.
I have given up taking a second spare except in extremely remote areas,then its a carcase only,thinking the local place can swap them over if needed.i always carry an air compresser and plugs,though.
Haven't changed or had to plug a tyre in almost 20yrs,thats on the D2's,and the D4.Helped others do it numerous times.
I also replace my tyres long before they are completely worn out,which helps.
Luck does take a part so no doubt one day it,and Murphy will catch up.
