I'm sorry but unless you're tracking your bike, how often are you changing your tires? Why not just pay to have this done?

I replace my tires every 3-4 months...and this is only street canyon riding. lol
Where I buy my tires, the dude installs them on the rims included in the price of the tires. The tires are the same price whether they are installed or not, so I don't fuck around with this. Not to mention, the preivous "Frank" method is good if you don't care about scratching ur rims. And then you have to balance the tires as well.

Lol. Good return.
I usually get one new tire a year (this year an exception). But I went with the hd tire protection and tt takes care of my tire worries. And don't talk abt take offs. That just reassures the cheapness of said rider. But honestly. Ok. So you're going to do it a bunch of times. So then buy a tire changer. If tigger can do it, so can everybody else. |

People who ride on East TN/West NC roads regularly can burn through tires in a weekend or two. Especially the guys running take offs. Paying normal shop rates of $20-$40 a wheel is just asinine when you may do it as often as people do it here. Even when you ride Powers and go through a tire in 2k-3k, those prices get too high quick.
