    You can probably do it yourself, i'm pretty sure atv tires do not need to be balanced, correct? Usually they have a pretty big sidewall, and usually your rims are already scratched/dented so if you fugg up a little it wont make you cry...give it a shot, save yourself some dough.

    changing atv tires

    Ever try breaking the bead on a ATV tire? It aint easy and aint fun!! I change my own ATV tires and my removal tools are a sharp razor knife and a dremel cutter. The knife to cut the tire off the rim...and the dremel to cut the bead rings in the tire.
    If you mail ordered tires, you're probably in for another surprise when you put them on. A quick shot of starter fluid and a light does the job...but you didn't hear that from me

    changing atv tires

    spent about 1hr trying to break the bead of the damn rim, no luck. used a 2x4 with about 8 ft of leverage and couldn't get it to break. took it to bettencourts and paid 40 bucks . just going to buy the bead breaker from harbor freight for 50 bucks for next time.

    Sorry, that's why i don't do them any more. without a hydraulic breaker you're pissing against the wind. it takes me an hour of fuckign around, swearing and sweating to get the damn things changed.

    We've got a Coats 220 w/optional ATV bead breaker. I'll let you know how it goes after I get around to dealing with the flat tire on our Kodiak.
