I first did this with 4 motorcycle tires. Yesterday I needed an old car tire removed before shipping. The shops tire machine is getting moved to a new shop and I didn’t feel like driving to my regular mechanic. I first cut the tire completely around the sidewall. Then made a notch in the rubber to the bead. Used the pair of box cutters in the pic to cut the bead. The whole process took 5 minutes.

I have a cheap HF (PA in canada) manual tire machine, paid $60 for it on sale. Does 8" to 16" rims. Takes me a couple minutes to install or remove a tire. There was one for a bit more coin that will do 20"+ rims I think it just has a longer bar.
I also bought from HF a cheap valve stem installation tool, valve core screwdriver, plug and patch kits, etc. For balance on regular daily driver tires I just use Air Soft beads, for wide tires I have a couple friends that will let me use their balance machines.
