Yea eventually. The ones that are on there have enough life to get her through this season. She doesn't need anything special yet. She's still learning how to ride this one. I am going to PC the wheels a pearl white. I'm just waiting for the powder. Its supposed to be here on Tues.

Cool! Do you have a good method for removing the tires or do you send them out to a shop? I really want to mount and dismount my own tires as the shops around here want $15- 30 to do one!

how many places have you gone to to price tire removal? $15-$30 is insane! that sounds like the price for a mount and balance. theres got to be a place that will charge you a reasonable price.

 

[brandoz28]

15-30 would be a mounted/balanced price I would think. Just have them dismount and remount.

Walmart around here is close to 5 bucks a tire too.

And as far as breaking beads, I have pulled the valve stem cores out before, and then use a 2x4 or 2x6, put the end close to the bead, and then slowly drive up the other end.


Its redneck as hell, but it gets it done. You'll still want tire spoons to install them, but I have used prybars before when I had to.

 

[Dem3500]

ive done the same thing with lost of different tires. crude but effictive lol

7 places within 30 mile radius, dealers to tire shops! Rip off! cheapest place i found was $15 to take old one off and put new one on!

Guess i'm calling walmart today!

 

[Dem3500]

I guess $15that is not too bad
