They charged me 30 dollars a wheel to take 1 tire off and install 1 . Did I get ripped off or what?
It feels like it!!!

Most automotive places will do it, I think it has to be atleast a 10 inch wheel. My bro works at a tire shop so I get it done for free.

Buy a "bead buster" for $60 bucks, and never pay to have it done again!

I Had a dealer I used for a long time, kinda get to me on labor for my new tire on my motorcycle,and I told him about it, and have never used his shop again. It hurts worse when they CLAIM to call you "friend" and then screw you with a smile on thier face.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Ha ha ,that still pisses me off and its been 2 years!!!!LOL.

The WalMart's do atv tire swaps for $20 each - even though car tires are only $7.50
A tire chain called Discount Tire near me does atv tires for $5.

I just have the tire shop pop the beads and go home and do it myself with some tire irons. The tire shop charges me $10 for all four.

$22 each? $30?!? I'm going to go into the tire changing business.
Seriously though, I'd never go back to a shop that tried to charge me that much. I think biggerisbetter's method sounds like a good idea. I had a friend that worked at a tire shop so I had some tires done for free, but it cost me less than $10 the time I took a tire in when he wasn't working.

Looks like Hillbilly's got it made! $10 to change a set of four! About a mile down the road from my house there's a little redneck tire repair shop that hooks me up. Things sure are cheap here.....I got my new '01 DS for $5,600.
