Title: DIY tire install question.
Post by: JeffD on April 21, 2004, 12:34:50 PM
Has anyone tried installing their tires themselves.  (instead of the rediculous $45 intallation fee per tire)

I am thinking about doing it because my local dealer wants $125 for a BT45rear (free install) but I can find tires cheaper than that,  and if I took in the tire and rim its $45/tire.

Thanks.

Check out the old thread tire mount/balance (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7071).

In addition to the other great posts, mine has a link to a pretty exhaustive "How To" on the subject.
