Where, cheaply, in the south bay do folks go to get their tires dismounted and mounted?

I go to San Martin Tire in San Martin.... 13425 Monterey Hwy San Martin, CA 95046 408-683-2279 I used to go to a local America's Tire but they refused to mount what I said were autocross tires for me because the date code was too old.

Peter, many chain shops won't touch a used tire or anything that isn't brand new - the lawyers are all over them. Discount tire wouldn't put my never used but 20 yr old spare on my Dodge van. Not only that, but they wouldn't wirebrush the corroded chromed aluminum rim on my car until I shamed them into it when i bought brand new Michelin tires there and one leaked down one month later due to their never brushing the california rims!

I had a similar problem with a couple of the name brand tire shops (cough cough America's Tire and Wheel Works cough cough). America's Tire had always been willing to mount up my autocross tires but one day, they refused because of tire wear and date code. It was the lawyers or sales people speaking because they had done it for years. I would bring them tires and wheels too. Larry On Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 7:26 PM Ken Nelson <citbuff@...> wrote:

Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley. They do excellent work, and have the adaptor to balance Citroën DS rims, which do not have a hole in the middle and will thus not work on a conventional balancer. They will install tires you supply.

anyone know where they can balance new tyres on a DS21? Lon Price s almost never around anymore. For the uninitiated, the rims have no round hole in the middle. -- Today is the first day of the rest of your life |

Out of curiosity has anyone here tried balancing beads in the tire? On Wed, Oct 26, 2022 at 10:03 AM Stephen Cooper <oobowls@...> wrote:

I dropped on at Roger Krause Racing to verify what they can do
with Citroen wheels and tires. They do have the adapter to mount and spin balance Citroen wheels. There has not been a problem with mounting. The balancing adapter is somewhat of a pain for them to use, so they do charge more to balance, because it takes more time. I also discussed the issue of "we do not touch tires which are
date coded more than 8 years out". No, not a problem with them. We
had a brief discussion about ages of tires, and more depends on
how the tires have been stored. But they treat the customer as
though they had a brain. If you want older tires on your car, that
is up to you.
Certainly not the corporate attitude, of "if you mount them, you are fired" And nice people. Including Roger. In Castro Valley. (510 582 5031 On 10/26/2022 8:47 AM, morticia wheeler

I've done my own for years, even have a video on doing Honda 600 rims on YouTube. I bought a Harbor Freight dismount/remount device 10 years ago for $35, works great. The only ones I don't try on my own are low profiles or larger alloys like the 17's on my FRS. Huge money saver.
