    Ride in, ride out tire purchase/mounting?

    Looking for the best place that I can ride to and have tires mounted/balanced? Within a hour of Framingham, MA, won't destroy my rims and won't gash me on the price? Has anyone dealt with Twisted Throttle when it comes to tire mounting? The local dealers always seem to want a premium and then scratch the shit out of my rims.........

    Order online and have them shipped to one of the tire changers... Then ride down there and get the swap done.

    If you want to ride down to Lunenburg (Fitchburg) - stop by Central Mass Powersports, ask for Gary and tell him Chris sent you. He'll cut the mount/balance fee in half for you and they have a great selection of tires to choose from.

    I'd be more than happy to have the tires shipped here and you pull up, do the change, and then drive away. The biggest "gash" on prices is usually what a shop up-charges you for the tires (as i'm sure you know). If you'd like to discuss more, my contact info is here:

    I'm about 25mins from sobo or framingham, but totally up to you though!

    Degsy does pretty much the same as Trickey Mike who is in the Chelmsford area. Can't go wrong with either guy as far as I'm concerned. Seacoast is awsome and North so there ya go

    There is no shortage of tire changers on nesr. Fyi I'm definitely NOT looking for more tire changing work (or any in fact) I'm generally way too busy.
    I'll always help out if it's desperate need though.

    If you're ever in VT and mention the forum - I'll hook it right up on the Skinny. In Essex, just outside Burlington. Legit setup.

    I know that quite a few people change tires on NESR, just trying to narrow it down to which ones stock tires.

    Thanks Degs, not desperate trying to be somewhat proactive.

    We will be in that area next Friday, Saturday on our way to NY.
