Changing Wheels/Tires

[WhiteRob]

Bumping this back up as I will soon need some SUV tires swapped

[Monkeyspeed]

Thanks for getting those crap tires off for me tonight. Free bump for an awesome service for the club!

I recently purchased a tire machine and balancer for personal use, and have a couple questions:


If you would like some tires swapped, PM me, and I will let you know if I'm free. Please remember that I am not a business, I am a normal car guy like most of you. A

Here is the price per tire:

$2.50 to remove
$2.50 to mount
$5.00 to balance

These costs cover the valve stems, wheel weights, etc.

wow, this popped up at just the right time

pm'd you kriesel

Here is the price per tire:

$2.50 to remove from vehicle (this includes installing back on the car, do it yourself for free)
$2.50 to remove tire from rim
$2.50 to mount tire to rim
$5.00 to balance

These costs cover the valve stems, wheel weights, etc.

EDIT 19MAR12: Changed the pricing to include an additional cost for tires that are currently on a vehicle. It takes me a little longer to do the job, so an extra $10 for all four tires if they are on the car. If you show up, and want to take them off of your car yourself, sweet. You can use my tools, and less money out of your pocket. Don't stress a ton, I don't mind helping out, but if I do all the work and you stand there doing nothing, that's what I'm trying to get away from. Car guys should work on their own car a little now and then.

So, if you tires are on the car and I do all the work, $50 for all four.

If the tires are on the car and you do most of the work of getting them off (again, I won't mind helping), $40 for all four.

If the tires are off the car, $40 for all four

I modified some of the pricing for taking tires off and putting them back on the vehicle itself. Takes me extra time, but whatever.

Also, I'm on the verge of having a child in the next few weeks. So please bear with me on replying and getting tires done in the next couple months.

[Kriesel]

Can't do tires for a few days at least. If you need some, still send me a PM though.

oh ... I guess reading required.

When would be a good time to stop by and get some tires mounted?

[Kriesel]

What size tires (aspect ratio more precisely)?

Thinking about turning away anyone with an aspect ratio of 40 and lower. I've done a few, and had ok success, and have not ruined any tires, but it's creepy. My tire machine is not setup for the lower profile tires.

In the hopes of not ruining anyone's expensive tires, bring your low-pros to the pros...

that's what I was afraid of ... they're 225/35/R19's ... what other shop you recommend?

Even at discount tire they were hesitant to even attempt ...

I don't have an answer for you, sorry. I'm sure someone else here does.

Samaritan Tire is what everyone is going to say. I have no personal experience with them, but they do good work for a lot of members. They aren't scared of spacers/adapters/stretch either if you're into that kind of thing.
