Mounting a Low Profile Tire

OcOnnor220 · October 14th, 2007, 07:51 AM

Im posting this here because the other boards get no attention...Move it if you want, I dont care. Does anyone have any articles or step-by-steps on mounting a 17" tubeless tire by hand? I know theres a way to do it I just cant find any specific articles online.

Just pay to have them mounted. It isn't expensive and even if you mounted them yourself you still would have to get them balanced. Mounting them yourself isn't worth the hassle.

+1. just pay someone to do it, man. i spent about an hour and a half trying to mount 2 275's onto 17" rims. huge PITA. i swore at that moment that next time, i'd just pay to have it done.

I know but I just wanted to know how to do it. They can be driven on once mounted to a place where they can be balanced but I know theres' a procedure you can learn to mount them safely yourself. Nevermind.
