tire mounting

anybody on here that can dismount and then remount on new wheels 5 36' swampers? How much would you want?

2 Prybars and a hour. Save the cash and do it yourself, its pretty easy.

I'm considering this,but it's more of a time vs. cost thing if it isn't too expensive I'll pay someone else.

what type of time frame you thinking.....I could do it

I think the going rate is $5-10 ea. at most tire shops. Maybe less if you hook up with someone when they are bored.

Or for ~$40 you can buy HF's "portable" tire changer and a little sweat equity. Easier than prybar's if you aren't proficient that way, and pays for its self after a couple jobs. Bolt it to your garage floor when you need it, then unbolt it and stuff it in a corner for next time.... or sell it on CL for $30 and it only cost you $10 for the whole job

You're not gonna "charge" me like last time?:eeek: :redneck:

You have the lube?

Most of the difference in how hard tires are to mount and dismount is because of the drop center of the wheel. Tires themselves play a small part but it is usually the wheels that make the difference. As far as lube. All that is is liquid soap. I would help you do it if you wanted to come to Yakima.

:eeek: Are you serious? It has more to do with the sidewall and bead of the tire than the rim.
