i recently purchased rims from a honda-tech member. two came with tires and two came w/o tires. i wanna know how to get the tires off the two rims, cuz the shop is charging me extra to take it off and put it on the new tires.

any help would be appreciated

 

I would take it to the shop and have them do it. they balance them and such.

 

If you're careful and wrap the pry bar with a rag or something, you can pry the tire off by deflating it, then prying the tire in a circular motion until it's off....careful or you'll scratch, dent, etc the rims. Or you pay the extra cash, the tire shop pops it off in a couple minutes, and if its damaged they buy you new rims

 

shop.. its like about 3 dollars to dismount... i don't know how much to mount.

 

sounds like everyone's telling me to go to the shop. i guess that's it then.
thx.

 

seriously how much extra are they gonna charge you 5 bucks? lol

 

Let the shop do it. If they charge you more than $10 you need to find a new tire shop.

It's ludicrous that you're trying to cut corners and dismount tires yourself.




EDIT: on second thought, if you're that concerned with saving $10, take a screwdriver and take the tires off. I hope you like fucked up wheels.

 

oh yeah... i can unmount and mount them for free if you trust me enough to borrow em for a day to get it done at school.

There's a reason they paid 10 grand for a low profile tire machine.

And it's not because somebody can do it easily in their garage.
