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.

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

i did my tires myself and it can be a bit if a mother f&$&*r. i didnt balance them but i have yet to notice a vibration at highway speeds.
going fast isnt the problem, its the crashing and burning that hurts
