Time for new tires on my motorcycle

[raggie33]

Man I hate mounting them this time at least I have a cheap bead breaker and holder for tire and balancer will order tires in a few days most likely skinko 777 there in my budget

Look on the bright side.... Cheaper than replacing 4 car tires.... even if you go with a budget brand.

After busting my knuckles, not for the first time, mounting a tire when I was in college, I swore to myself when I got a job and had some money I would pay other people to do it. Having proper tools will help.

Given the relatively short tread life of motorcycle tires compared to car tires, I'm not sure that's true.

I don't let other people touch my rides... because I'm poor plus i don't trust other people I don't know

After the job is complete, is the satisfaction of being able to do it yourself.

As long as you're going to be better at the job. There's nothing wrong with letting the best man do the job, sometimes that's you, sometimes its someone else.
