Default mounting tires price

i orderd a set of 2 itp c-series wheels for the front 2 tires cause one of mine got bent. the honda dealer said that they charge $26 PER TIRE to mount them. I think this seems kinda high. i have never mounted tires before so do u think this is a fair price or should i go somwhere else. thanks

Go to a motorcycle shop or a car dealer and see if they could do them. My dad is a mechanic and at his shop, he managed to fit mine to the machine, so go ask around or if you know someone whos dad has access go there. There is no point of paying the price of one of the rims to get them mounted.

My advice is to order a tire changer from Northern Tools or Northern Equipment, or one of the ATV vendors. The fronts are the easiest to change. You will need a couple of tire spoons. Get two short ones and one that is about 16" long.

Dealers try to make everyone believe it is really difficult to change tires. It is easy if you have the right equipment. They figure you don't so you will pay.

I take mine to Les Schwab (tire and wheel store) they change mine for $7.00 per tire. The Honda dealer wants $25.00 per. Rediculus! Fire a Discount Tire (if you have them back there) or some tire shop. I know you'll find one in your area that knows how to change ATV tires.
