i visted my local suzuki dealer and asked them for a price on mounting two tyres on my bike, if i buy them online their quote was "one and fucking half hours labour for each tyre"...i htought is this guy real. mind you he then reduced the cost to half an hour if i were to purchase the tyres from their shop..god damn it. it would be cheaper to but a tyre mounting machine (theres one on ebay NOW graemlins/yumyum.gif )and post adds for 10bucks do it yourself tyre changing in seattle..ay least then you can only blame yourself if your rims get damaged in the process. this price did include balancing so i suppose it's fair...NOT....i will look up the name of this dealer its in renton near seattle. theres my bitchin' for the week. i will post and let ya know where i finally do get the tyres mounted and balanced with the costs.
