What do shops charge to get tires mounted in your area? I called a local place near by and they wanted $25-30 a tire to mount them on my new rims. Whats the deal, its cheaper to have 37" muds mounted and balanced than it is to have some little 26's mounted without balancing...?

you should be able to get all four done for $20 in Guadalupe!

If you know what I mean!

 

[zerofield]

hahaha.....i do. i would be more afaid of them stealing the wheels,or having to run to the alamo(98 Kupd's radio station)

 

[fergie80]

I haven't been able to find a very good deal on mounting either. Best deal I found was $10 bucks a tire.

i bought one of those tire changers from harbor freight and it works great. thats if you dont mind getting your hands dirty.

 

[Crwcompact]

Can't you take these tires anywhere to get them mounted and unmounted... I mean cars used to have 14" wheels on them back in the day....about 97 or so..

When are we going to see a RHino with 28's????? :shock:

 

[zerofield]

already thought about putting 24's on a rhino and getting a friend to bagged it

That's not a bad idea...I might have to look into one of those. Save money in the long run.

 

[sandbug]

yes thats the one i got when its on sale its only 50 bucks.

I swap tires off of rhino rims all the freakin time. I do it myself on my next door neighbors tire machine. I have well wore out my welcome there, but he doesn't trip on me using it as long as I don't ask his workers for help, but it's become so easy that I'm pretty freakin good at it now! I don't see how people could charge more than $15 for swapping a complete set. $10 sounds even more reasonable for the ammount of time it takes. Just gotta be careful not to bend or crush rim with hydraulic pressure that clamps the light weight alloy wheels most people use. I did it to one the 1st time, then I started letting off a lil.....

mounting tires

wal mart mounted paddles on se rims for 10 bux for both and i told them i wanted the paddles to match up!!!! cycle places want 30 and up to do it

SandBug, thanks for the idea of the tire changer at Harbor Freight, Just bought mine, they had it on sale for $39.00, works great and is easy to use.

 

[Chandler]

Discount does it for $5 a tire. If you need stems the fiirst time is another $3 I think.

 

[AzBdBy]

Didn't know discount would do it for $5 a tire, but I always use Wally World. That is what they charge.

 

[SOUTHBAYRHINO]

the $49 TIRE CHANGER works ok??? the one for motorcycle tires? I saw it over there on sale! The red one right?

 

[AZCourt]

I used to work at a shop that had a policy if you bought the tire from us, we mounted it for free. I guess those days are over.

 

[SOUTHBAYRHINO]

Well, a lot of people switch depending on sand or dirt, so people just need to buy more wheels and tires! I have some old wheels for sale. I will try to post up some pics soon.

 

[CaptainCrab]

SBR, yes the red one, just bought it. I changed 2 set of ties swapped them rim for rim in about 30 minutes and sisn't even have the changed bolted down.

does it scratch your wheels up. thats the only thing im worried about because my new wheels are powdercoated on the edge.
