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.
