Tires mounted and Dismount

xjoffroad · Feb 21, 2007

im in everett and dont want to pay of the ass for it to be done. where do you suggest?

KarlVP · Feb 21, 2007

what exactly do you need done?

New tires on rims? Or just a dismount, clean and balance.

Got access to costco? They did my car tires for $10 per, mounted and balanced. Worth a try to see if they'll do bigger ones for cheap too.

ranger james if you you need tires dismounted and remounted there is an easy do it yourself metheod for it. all you need is 2 steel fencing posts and a long prybar. i dismounte and remounted my 35s that way

Ranger James · Feb 22, 2007

might be worth doing and just have them balance them

lethe · Feb 22, 2007

if they guy with the tire machine cant come through for some reason i work at discount tire in lynwood so ill hook you up and do it for free. you wanted the iroks balanced?

johnboy1 · Feb 22, 2007

i think its pointless to balance any tire goin on a truck that gets wheeled, the lead weight gets ripped of all the time. plus its a pain to balance some bigger tires.

xjoffroad · Feb 22, 2007

are you the guy i bought the iroks from? i remember him telling me he works for discount. pm me.

I've got a tire machine and I'm in Auburn if you haven't got this straightened out yet. You can use it yourself or I can help for some beer $$$ :redneck:

wish I would have known that yesterday.. lol..

I spent the day snow wheeling only to find out all my tires leaked around the beads when aired down..

especially right where les schwab put those bead weights on last time they balanced the tires.. Fawkers.

Since I was near north bend though on my way down the mountain.. and since it was saturday and they were open.. and since I didn't want to have to deal with losing air like I was.. I paid the 85 to les schwab again to have my tires dismounted, cleaned beads/rims, remounted and balance with tape weights...

lesson learned:

Don't go to les schwab..

Don't use weights that mount to the rim of the wheel to balance the tires.
