yeah I got gouged (sp) another $8 per tire for dismount. They were 2 miles from my house and it was easy

60 for 4 is not bad. 15 i piece is right, thats what i paid at americas tire. Theres a nifty invention called a phone. You can use it to call places and get quotes. But seriously....you are just being cheap.

I am being cheap because Im getting paid $7.75 an hour, working 20 hours weeks, balancing life in one hand, and hell int he other. I barely have money for gas let alone anything else. I had to save for a month and a half to get enough money for Sonoran Shackle hangers.

On my 1998 I paid 32 dollars for life time balancing and rotation. And I did not buy the tires their.

man this is some funny chit... I have used the hi-lift, i also have put a 2x6 on the tire (laying flat of course) near the bead, the other on the ground (like a ramp) and driven up the board until the bead broke loose. I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS. You could get hurt if Physics does it thing the wrong way>>

Use your truck!. If you were stuck in nowhere and how to do this what would you do?
Jack up the truck slide the tire (not the rim part) under the rotor and ease the vehicle down. This will break the bead but be carefull this is a two banana project.

This is a very Gangus problem, does anyone notice this?
I can even predict how this is going to go:
This post will go on and on and we will gain more and more info as we go, making poor Khanh look dumber and dumber, then it will continue with people offering solutions and him shooting them down. Eventually he or his parents will just go and pay to have it done and that will be the end of yet another silly Gangus post. Sound about right?

You know what we need here? We need to light the "EasonMaykusIsGay" signal (think Batman) and he will swoop down to extend justice, vengeance, and most likely humor to those in need.

With people saying its dangerous, and the possibility of destroying the bead/tire, I probably will just bring it to a shop.

Im gunna go dig around my receipts on when i bought these last year, so i can see if Town Fair will demount/remount/balance them for me. Im not sure if I was given that perk or not.

I just have to wait until I have access to these (theyre in my shed, behind a lot of stuff), and until my lug/locks/valve stems arrive.

$60.00 Does that come with any kind of flavored lube or even a kiss.....sob find a different shop.
Should be between $10-15 per tire.

Gee then maybe you shouldn't be buying them? It's called having priorities. I'm sorry if that's harsh, but it's the truth. What good are the shackle hangers if you can't drive the truck cuz you've got no TIRES?!

Geez!

the_4runnin'_beast

les schwuab stores will do this sort of thing for free! im not sure if you have les shwuab tire stores in Mass., but its worth looking at.

Gangus2006

I have tires that are perfectly good (for on road) (well, kinda). The wheels/tires in question here I already own. I have the money, Id just rather do other things with it now. $60 can get me the recover straps I need.
