    Need my tires changed!

    I need my tires changed. I bought the tires but didn't have the extra 100 bucks to fork out to have them change them. I'm down to the metal fray? (don't know the technical term). If anyone is in the springs and is willing to make a quick buck that could help me out that would be awesome. 719-440-4161. i can pay but i can't pay what dealerships are asking because it spent a good amount for the tires. 719-440-4161

    If you make 6 or 17 more posts it might help.

    I don't joke about over posting. It's a pretty big problem here on the CSC.

    Re: Need my tires changed!

    ....i posted twice? Some people don't view every thread. I don't understand what you're getting across. I'm not spamming, i need a quick fix. I'm down to the last straw trying to make it work. It's not like im marketing something like an ad. I also wasn't asking for remarks about posting twice. I was asking a question to see if i could figure out to put my tires on thats all. My apologies. Simple, yes or any helpful info, would be very much appreciated instead.

    I'm just looking out for the community. You may remember a little skirmish back in the early 90's called operation desert storm. It's a little known fact that this little battle began because Saddam Husain posted the same thread twice on a forum that George Bush was on.

    Check with your local shop for off the bike prices. I paid $20 per wheel in Denver. I think Jim in Golden charge $15 off the bike.

    Re: Need my tires changed!

    If somebody it trying to charge $45/$50 for off-bike installs, they're gouge artists. Quite frankly, that's high for ON-bike installs!

    If you don't mind, please let us know who is charging so much, so none of us will ever go there. Ever.

    Re: Need my tires changed!

    Should be mount and balance. There is no alignment.

    Sadam may have started the war by posting twice, but he lost it because his motorcycle wheels were out of alignment.

    Hey man. Hit up Jackle Motorsports in the springs. He's off of filmore and north Nevada or there abouts. Best place in the springs for bike work to include tires.
