Separating rims and tires
- Thread starter BigMike80
- Start date
I've got the Harbor Freight tire mount tool. I used it to mount some tires. I haven't ever tried to dismount tires with it, but it is suppose to be able to do it.
You are welcome to use it if you want to try it.... but you take responsibility if your rims get scratched.

Yeah, there's a little shop with in walking distance from my work that I'm in good with. I just drop it off in the morning and bring him 20 bucks cash for all four.
Expect 10-20 bucks a tire anywhere else though

Do it yourself!
You need a Hilift, Jeep with a class II hitch and some screw drivers.
I can dis-mount and mount a set of tires in the driveway in less than 2 hours for free using the above tools.

Hmm, I could spend 2 hours d***ing around not including mounting them on the vehicle, or give a guy 20 bucks while I'm at work. It's a tough call.
Also, I'm not above it, I've actually tried it. But I was using my rock rail and then I punched a hole in my new door like a can opener from the hi-lift mechanism. I was over it after that.

I just ordered my Soft 8's and have been pricing the same thing. I've seen prices ranging from $18 per tire at America's Tire, to $120 for all four at Les Schwab, to $10.25 per tire at Costco.
7 bucks sounds like a steal to me.
