Default Changing rear Tires, need help...

Basically I am gonna be getting some new back tires and was wondering if anyone had any advice about how doable it would be to remove and mount the rear tires on my raptor 660r. Local dealership refuses to mount tires that are not purchased from them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]


anyone tried this before and got any tips to make it easy ?

Thanks

Take it to a tireshop to have them mounted or even wallmart does it I believe. I don't think it would be that easy without the proper equipment but I don't have any experiance with that so if thats what u want to do someone could probable provide the know how for you.

Tell your dad this is not a bicycle tire. You need a hydraulc "Tire Iron" to get that bead on there like a car tire. You could just muscle it on if you are strong but you run the risk of gouging the bead area of the rim and your tire will leak. Walmart $5 a wheel.
