I finally changed my first pair of 50 tires! It was a pain in the ***! I had a mini crow bar, and two flat head screw drivers. It took about an hour. I seriously don't want to do this again but I did do it faster on the 2nd tire. :YEAH

 

congradulations

 

im going to have to soon...any tips?

 

soapy water definitally helps alot. all depends on the tire too, like stock ones and the hoops i can put on by hand, but the perilles sucks major ***

 

Invest in some good tire iron's. You will save big headaches. get 3 of them and tire changes will be a cake walk.

 

i changed my ***** to cheng shin streets and it took me about 30 min for the first and 20 for the second. i didnt use any soap and i had to use flat head screwdrivers at the time. it wasnt the worst thing in the world but it wasnt the easiest either. i pinched the first tube but the second i was able to reuse from the **** i took off.

 

use 1/2 water 1/2 dishsoap and tire spoons, i change mine in about 10 minutes now!

 

I didn't use any soapy water just 2 flat head screw drivers, a mini crow bar, and alot of muscle. It is a pain in the *** at first but gets easier the more you do it. I had to take off my front tire because I put it backwards ( pay attention to the arrows on the tire walls in the direction they go) I reliazed that I put one of my tires backwards and had to take it off but it only took me about 15 mins. to take off and put back alot easier this time around.

 

I'm the worst tire changer of all time. I'll go head to head with anyone. :YEAH

 

haha i used to work at merchants changing tires.


imagine changing tires on a 22inch chrome rim with a 35 series tire. damn i would rather shoot myself.

 

funny thing is, i think its easier changing a streetbike tire by hand than it is 50 tires

 

i peeeeee'd on my tire, and it melted right onto the rim. I got magical powers.

 

they seriously make tires that big with almost no sidewall?? how often do the rims come in damaged?

 

yeah ive seen a few, they are more likely to get damaged actually puttin the tires on or taking them off. Most people dont have much experience with them so often we've had to buy people new rims when other employees damage them.

 

my brother just put on his 02 town car 255/30/22 i bet there were a biatch to install. my other bro put 275/30/20 on his 350z and he had to find another shop that could do it.
