changing tires

I’m looking to put new tires on my Kawasaki 360 and found that the place where I’m buying the tires wants $15 per tire to change them. I’m contemplating doing it myself. Anyone had any experience with changing their own? Is this something I want to tackle??

Does the $15 include balancing ??? I wouldn’t mess with it Is a 360 a 4 wheeler ?

I know enough guys that do their own, but they have gotten good by doing it regularly. They have a few little tools, and the knowledge of getting the beads set. I have done it, and would pay the $15 bucks to not screw with it again if it didn’t involve driving a long ways to the place doing it. What sucks is getting a couple done, struggling with the last one, and making the trip back to have it done anyways.

Some small auto shops do it cheaper than a regular dealership as well.

I’m with G on this one. Especially if the $15.00 includes old tire disposal.

Yep, 4×4. I don’t think they balance atv tires, do they??

I’ve done a few on the old Yamaha. Getting new ones on is easy. Little soapy water and some pry bars. The old ones coming off worked best with a sawzall.

We spun one clean off a Razor on the trail. I carry a portable compressor on my wheeler. We got it back on with a prybar, wrapped a cinch strap around it and ratcheted tight and hit it with the air pump. Worked like a charm!
