removing tires

[zzbudzz]

how hard is it to remove a stock tire and replace it with another(aftermarket)tire .a local atv dealer quoted me 15 bucks a tire .i think thats a little high ,what do ya'll think?

$15 / tire sounds a bit high to me..

It can be tough to get the stock tires off if they have never been broken down before though (glued on)..

Look around for a better price. I highly recommend you don't attempt it yourself - it is a very problematic thing to do.

wal-mart should do it for you for less than $5. they have a machine they use on lawnmower and trailer tires and it works great. i've had them do several for me and have had no problems.

i don't know if all of them will, but the ones around me sure do. the honda shop wants to charge me like $25 for mounting and dismounting. it's friggin ridiculous.

huh ,never thought about walmart ,thanks guys

I go to Town Fair Tire. If you have one around you, they will do everything for free. Mounting-dismounting-and flat repair.

Just FYI

i took mine to Wal-Mart and they tried like **** and couldn't break it down,,,i ended up at Farm Service and 4 guys tried till they broke it down,,,,my poor wheel!!!,,,later

be careful where you take it though we ended up having to replace are rim from one company having a lot of trouble and were banging on it and everything. They payed for it though.

damn sounds like i should just get the tires w/ the rims.huh ,and keep the stocks for spares.town fair tire...... never heard of them?

lol yea 4 wheele tires bead are pretty damn hard to break especially stock tire beads. When i change tires i just go to my work(farm) get out the loader put the forks on it and break the beads with that. LOL that might be the reason I have been haviong so much tire problems with leaks
killer

[bigbadbrad]

just go down to your local garage that changes car tires they can do it with their machine and use the bead braker for car tires. tip on car tire bead braker on any low presure tire is to not let all the air out of the tire trust me on that

All i do is get htem to dismount em, anybody can get them on yourself lol
