Tire Changing in Chelmsford, MA

[RickP]

Just had Mike throw on a set of Prelli Diablo Rossos. Great guy, great service. I highly recommend sending Mike a PM if you need tires. Now it is time to go scrub them in
maybe more like pray: until they are scrubbed

[Tricky Mike]

Thanks again, Rick.
Rick's bike is pristine... I rocked the purple gloves for the bike's sake

well my days of paying the dealership to put on an overpriced metzler are over!

I went to Chelmsford Friday and had the pleasure of meeting Mike. I had him wrap my chrome wheels with the Michelin Pilot Powers....Oh how nice....and he even pressed in my bearings ( We had fun with those didn't we Mike... ) You want professionalism with a smile for a great price you go see this guy in Chelmsford, it was worth the trip.....i'll hafta come see ya when the TLR is all put back together...


How was that Mike...

you're missing the obvious joke.

Tricky, I may be bringing a new wheel with my swingarm. My front wheel is done, and needs to be replaced.

[Tricky Mike]

fer sure

So, I'm all set up to do car/truck tires too.
Cost is $15 each (wheels on the car/truck is fine) plus $5 for disposal. Balancing is static balancing, which I admit is not as fancy as dynamic balancing, but I don't have the loot for a dynamic balancer. You buy now!

Got a preffered (cheap) place for buying car tires. Fuckers wanted $700 for a mounted set without even throwing in an alignment or reach around.

yeah, it's rough... I just paid $613 for a set of Goodyear TripleTreads from DiscountTire.com... Free shipping too. Town Fair was willing to match, but I'd have had to pay MA sales tax (and waited a lot longer... UPS even put them in the garage for me). Some decent deals on teh interwebs, but most local places won't touch tires you didn't buy from them (which is where I come in). I have a lifetime alignment on my truck, which I highly recommend, especially if you do your own front-end work (cost me $75). I may consider a $10 a wheel winter special (plus disposal if needed). The cold months are obviously slow for the bike stuff.
Could have spent less, obviously... but $600 should get you a set of Michelins, etc...

It will be soon. I need to get the scratch together for a ski mask or steal a set of pantyhose first, then the rest will fall into place.

Bump!!

Props to Mike for taking an hour out of his Sunday to plug a stupid nail hole in my rear tire.

Nice garage/workshop too. He's set up to do quite a bit.

Hey Mike, got tires in stock for my 955i? 120/180. Still trying to get the 46mm socket to get my rear wheel off.

Hey McBiggity,I have a 46mm socket I use it for the ducati back wheel if you want to borrow it let me know.

I have several buddies looking to have tires mounted locally. Do you have an address and contact number. I will pass it on to them. Wish I had seen this earlier. I had mine done at the dealer at substantial cost. Thanks

Awesome to see there's someone local that can do my bike tires! I pay a lot more than your asking price at the local dealership. You should add the car/truck prices into the original post.

Crap. Didn't see this when I needed my truck tires swapped on to different rims. Although I thought of checkin in with you and ask, but I forgot
Oh and Mike, you should update your first post that you do car/truck tires!

[McBiggity]

Thanks Mike,
got the wheels back on the triumph!
