I took my quad to quad to a Bombardier dealer (East Coast Cycle, Bensalem, PA) to check out a rear end vibration. They not only blew up one of my stock tires when remounting (and then charged me to repalce it), they cracked and chipped off the paint or chrome on the inside of the rear rim. Has anybody else had trouble with the stock Baja tires blowing up when remounting, and then the paint/chrome chipping or pealing of the inside of the rear rims?

It sounds like some damn monkey for a mechanic screwed you over! And they dealer stuck you with HIS screw ups. If I were you I wouldn't have gave them absolutely NO chioce but to replace my rims and tires for FREE!!!

They have to be accountable for their own screw ups. Dont they?

I ruined my ohtsu rear tires when I took them off. They were glued or something to the rim.

When I changed the tires on my baja rims it was very hard to get them to bead. I thought I was going to explode a tire trying to do it. When I switched to douglass rims it was much easier to bead them.

I did the front tires and they were very hard to get to break loose and very hard to seat. Not sure if it was the radial tires or the Baja rims. I have sent letter to the dealer and Bombardier stating my dis-satisfaction with the work!!!
