    Question Tire mounting in Metrowest??

    I need a tire I bought on line mounted/balanced, like within a day or two. Where is a shop within a 40 Mile radius that can do it?

    Motorsports in Auburn is too busy
    Performance in Shrewsbury cant promise it will get done by Friday because they are so busy.

    Andersons Cycles said he'll do it, but not sure when, "People that buy tires from me will take priority... Labor is a purchase!!

    A.W. Cycles can do it, but they are 45 minutes away from me in Holden... I will if I have too.....

    Try APR (Apple Pie and Rice) in downtown Westboro. The guy's name is Wes - he should be able to at least get it mounted for you (not sure on balancing). The phone # is 508-366-9000, but he rarely gets to the phone or returns your calls... I just usually stop by so I can speak w/ him in person.

    Another place that probably will do this is Harry's Machine Shop in Westboro. Give them a call (don't know the # off the top of my head). They are on rt. 9 on the Westboro/Northboro line

    I have a balancer (the Rod Neff balancer). If you're really in a pinch I might be able to help you out if you get the tire mounted. I would just need the wheels and axles.

    Tire mounting in Metrowest??

    Hey Keena, great info ! I did not know Wes had a Tire mount set up... I know Wes he does good paint work, he accually painted my YZF600 a few years ago.

    Harry's Machine shop is right down the road from work. I will definately call them next time.

    I made the road trip out to A.W. Cycles in Holden and got my tire swapped/balanced in a Jiffy. Alan almost always drops what ever he is doing for me. Only charged me $15 for the rear! !! While i waited I did some truck shopping at the Chevy dealership he is next too...! Oh I love some of those trucks!!

    Thanks for all the help guys!!!
