Re: changing tires

You can buy the spoons (mini-tire irons) for about $5 a piece. Makes it pretty easy. (get 3)

Re: changing tires

Re: changing tires

I use to change my tires all the time on my dirt bikes. They were a pain in the *** but I got very efficient at doing it. Use to do mine and all my friends.

It took a couple minutes to put the new tire. Single spoon with an extra set of hands.

I installed Cheng Shin 3.50x10 tires
