Mobile Man I think you will be very pleased with the Bear Claws because there perfomance is good no matter what terrain you are in. That is quite a bit of money to mount a tire, normally it costs $2.50 per tire in my area.

Hey have you got a Williamson Oil or Appalachian Tire near you? They only charge 5 bucks a tire to change your tires.

Where do you ride? Ever come up to Top Of the World, Buffalo Creek, or Quicksand? How about Pine Mountain?

Hey, called around and found a shop in a neighboring town that said they would change them for $10.00 a tire if I had "bought the tires there" it just so happens that shop is owned by the same Stealership that I bought the tires from, when I said "Hey your shop in G-town is gonna do them for $10.00 a tire" they got on the phone bitching at the guys at the shop, They honored the price and what happened next was wonderful, it seems Kenda "bands" their tires for shipping and they tend to hold that shape even after you cut the bands, they fault with those four tires for two hours, spraying either into them and everything before the finally got them to bead, only for me to point out that the rotation on one of the rear tires was wrong, they worked two hours for my 40.00 bucks and was not "happy campers" I walked away feeling I had "got my moneys worth"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I buy lots of stuff there and they know me real well, but man I got'em good.

(EITHER) ? What a bunch of hoehandles. I change 40 to 50 tires a week. Never had to do that. Most tire shops would kick you off the lot if you tried that.

That tire shop must be ran by idiots because I could get the air compressor and change them all in an hour and I go to a local tire shop and they can change all four in fifteen minutes, and for a lot less money. That would **** me off enough to tell them to leave them the hell alone and I would take them somewhere else to get the damned things changed and I wouldn't have them wasting my time when I could have already been out riding.
