Tire changing?

[ansen]

so who got the hook up to tire changers? I know mexican llantera places but if someone can do it for less than those guys, I'm down.

what do those guys usually charge?

[ansen]

i don't know but i just took my tires to walmart and they mounted it for 3.50 a tire. i didn't get it balance though.

I think they usually charge six or seven bucks a wheel.

Who wants to go half-sies on a tire mounting/balancing combo machine? About 10g

YOU SUCK!!! lol. it's all good. yeah, chad is right but i didn't balance mine because I don't daily drive it and I always switch tires anyway so they only charged me the 3 bucks.

[Chad]

Yeah I'm pretty sure its around 7 bucks and thats balanced also.

I guess no one uses this stuff. If you do change your own tires then what are you using...I need to put a kit together.I bought the HF setup, but wound up using just the bead breaker.I made a 2x4 frame, to lay the wheel on, and set that on the base of the bead breaker,then once that's done I use tire spoons,rim protectors, and lots of pledge, to lube the rim and tire,and removal, and replacement are within minutes...
