Just bought some new tires for my Banshee and i heard a lot of horror stories about changing out tires! Is this someting that i can do myself w/ some tire irons or what! Or should i bite the bullet and have my serverice dept. do it?


thanks

 

There is bascially NO WAY to get the tires off. Call a few of your local tire shops and see who will do it the cheapest. My best place is Tire Depot who does it for 5 each tire.

I change my own tires. The hardest part is breaking the bead of your old tires. Once you do get the beads broken it's just a matter or using a couple of tire irons to get the tires off. Getting the new tire on isn't that bad and a little soapy water will help the beads set on the rims with minimal problems.
