Can I change my tires by myself?
« on: August 02, 2008, 05:00:22 AM »

Just wondering, both of my rear tires are losing air every number of days.
I already hand picked a nice set of tires on a local junk yard in jersey months ago. They are really in good condition, but i havent put them yet.
I live in house that has a nice driveway with pleny of space, and i have the jack stands and everything.
When I got my tires change the last time, i didnt do balancing or any thing of that matter, I just asked them to change the rims and tires, and thats all.
I figured, instead of going and giving away 20 dollars, and driving there{gas expenses}, maybe i can try and take the rims off my tires and put them in those "new" tires that i got from the junk yard?
tommorow is saturday, it would a nice day to do so.
Just wondering if its possible?

I wouldn't. I seriously doubt you have the proper tools to safely put it on without damaging the tire.

Portable Tire Mounter

There's only so much you can do without a shop [because one you collect so many tools, you ARE a shop]

Doing it is probably possible, but the stakes are way to high man imo.

Doing it without messing up the bead and getting it all straight.....
I dunno.

lol. as you should be. too much, and it just explodes [fire wise] and the tire sits there looking at you asking why you've set it on fire as you rush for some Flame Cancellation Implement.

That's about the only way your gonna get that bead to seal doing it yourself rather than a shop. That guy used too much starting fluid tho.
