Where can you get that done? at $10/EA - (I wanna know actually - I need a tire swap)

Well....you can use the argument...seasonal work vs. all year work for a car repair guy.

Last time i got that was Tirebuster in Midland. It was a couple years ago, not sure if it's still the same price or not.

car goes on hoist, 4-5 bolts each, direct swap. very fast

tires mounted on your rims require a machine to pull rubbers off, put rubbers on, inflate, seat, balance.

you are not getting your car rubbers put on for 10/ tire...maybe if they are on rims...

frekeyguy, call heritage.

they did my car tires for $20 total...i couldn't believe it. (on rims though)

Barrie tire mounting. Wheels off bike, wheels on bike you decide, other professional bike maintanence available as well, Contact forum member 219R6 he is in Barrie and does great work! : )

FYI, St. Onge and Barrie HD charge 40-50 bux plus per tire off the bike! : (

West End Cycle in Caledon, was $25 per wheel carried in. He will install while you wait.
Larry's in Orangeville, was $20 per wheel carried in last fall. You have to leave the wheels with him though.

I have had two sets installed by West End. The last set was installed by Larry's because he is closer and I did not mind leaving the rims until the next day.

Funny, I didn't realize you were at the shop watching what they were doing

I know the process, I've seen them do it many times.

gone to Rosey toes many times. And yes he pulled my tea bag from my cup and tossed it against the wall.Never had a issue with scratched rims. But I am in Milton. Anywhere else I am aware of costs 50$ a rim off the bike.

anyone know a place in Milton area that dose it for a decent price.

just called Ready Honda on Hensall Circle, rims off the bike, remove and replace front and rear tires plus balance is a one hour chargeable service and the hourly rate is 98 bucks, so more or less 50 bucks per rim......

I think I will shop around, but really need something closer to Mississauga......not going to drive an hour......hopefully

Pick up the yellow pages and call around and ask. When you do call, get the persons name and then ask for a price. Doesn't matter what place, they change their prices all the time. No price is certain until the work is done and you are leaving the shop.

If you end up going to Rosey Toes it'll probably be Kevin or Jaime who do your swap and they're both really good... Kevin does so many tire swaps he can do it with his eyes closed...
