Park Tool Tire Levers

No, you should not use these on carbon wheels. Because they are made of forged steel, they are rigid and can easily damage or scratch delicate carbon surfaces. These are strictly intended for alloy rims.

The extra length provides significantly more leverage than standard plastic tire levers. This makes it much easier to remove tight-fitting tires, especially stubborn road or mountain bike tires that are difficult to seat.

Each set includes two levers. The specialized tip design is engineered so that you typically only need these two to remove even the most challenging tire beads.

It depends on your needs. While plastic levers are lighter and safer for carbon rims, these forged steel levers are far more durable and provide superior leverage for difficult tire changes. If you frequently struggle with tight tires on alloy wheels, these are a much more effective tool.

While they are made of steel, the tips are specially designed to grip the tire bead effectively. However, because they are metal, you should still use caution and proper technique when prying to avoid marring the finish of your rims.
