will it be worth it to unmount tires or is a great pain in the ass? i just paid 50 usd at 5 bucks a pop to unmount tires at a local tire shop, and i have more to do....

hey berto, do you have a vo-tech high school near you? if so, you may want to take a ride over, and have a talk with the shop teacher.
my cousin made friends with the local vo-tech "shop" teacher, and thru them we can have tires unmounted, mounted, balanced, all that jazz for free! (they unmounted, cleaned the bead seats on the rims, put new valve stems in, remounted and balanced jims rims and tires on the alltrac for me) best part is, they WILL NOT take any money, they just want you to keep bringing things in to keep the kids buzy. i wouldnt bring them a 3k set of volks, but hey, last i checked, none of us are running crazy rim setups..lol -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

It just seems to me if you have some nice rims you wouldnt want a bunch of kids to be manhandling them when its fairly cheap it get it done by a pro. |
