stupid question..........is it possible to remount stock tires on my new vision 160's by doing it myself or do they need to go to the shop? I have never had a tire off an ATV before so I don't know how "loose" they go on and off. Also can I use my stock valves on my new rims?

Whats the best way I can get these things rollin?!! I would rather do it myself if its possible!

 

You could probably do it with a couple of tire spoons. If you do go to a tire shop, Have them clamp it on the outside instead of inside. I have black aluminum rims and the guy scratched one from clamping on the inside, he thought I was going to be pissed. I as cool with it, not done on purpose. It was only a brand new $75 rim, LOL. He did the other 3 from the outside and not one scratch! Now that I,ve riden it, they are all scratched. So now they match[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

thanks for the tip - I will not be happy if they scratch them! I know they will get beat up.......but I want to be the one doing it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] how about the valve? any tips there?

 

I bought and used (one set so far) the harbor frt tire changer. Is a manual-type changer, reg $90.00, was on sale for $50 I think. Worked well, good leverage. Here they charge $5 on up for a mount OR dismount. Adds up after a few tire changes. I'm not sure about scratches though, I have the black steel rims, were already scratched. This may scratch.
