anyone know if its something u can do at home? i just picked up my "new" rims but two of the tires are completely bald and the others are about there. and i called several places and they all said it would cost about $150-$175 to dismount and mount and balance the tires (i want to take the tires off my green Neons rims and put them on the new ones). but yet if i spend that much money just to have them mounted and what not. its not worth it to me since come Spring i'll be spending 200+ on new tires anyways (aka dont have the money to buy them now, plus i have 4 almost brand new tires in my garage anyways)

 

your quotes are rediculous... here in mansfield its like 20 bux to mount and balanceA tire. Come out here and get it done!

 

yea dude most places are like $6-$10 a tire to change / balance

 

out here it costs $6 to mount and $7 to balance.....
you can dothe mounting/dismountingat home, but its alot of work....i used to do it all the time.....all you need is 2 big prybars and an old style bumper jack to break the bead....
if you lived closer then you could just bring them over since i have a tire mounting machine in my garage...i just got done a bit ago mounting/dismounting about 10 tires
next on my list of stuff to get is a tire balancer...but i have to come up with about $1500 first[&:]

 

i'm gonna see about the shop across the street from me. i just learned tonight that they do wheels and tires too and see how much they would cost.

 

i have heard of some people who said that you can lay the tire and rim on the ground and drive another car onto it to break the bead. im not sayin to do it or anything but i have heard it

 

there are alot of different ways to pop the tire off the bead

 

Forget paying for it, just do what these guys do
