Gotta change my rear tire
I dropped in the dealership this morning, hankering for a decal for my truck. Thought I'd check out a rear tire change for my scoot. Here's the breakdown:
Tire $174.95 (the guy behind the counter actually quoted me a front tire...)
Tube $32.95
Rim band $4.49
Labor $99
Tax 37.27
TOTAL $348.66...Holy *****!!! For 1 tire!

Just don't try doing it yourself. And he probably was not even talking balancing it since you left that out. Since you have spokes, it probably needs it, more so just for the rim and tube. Don't fall for the beads. If beads work, it would have been OK without them. Your tax rate is 11% WOW. That's what we pay for eating out but that's a luxury.

And what's the deal on the tax. In California the tax on that would be $20.00. They tax labor in your state?

Last November I bought tire and tube from J&P cycle. $14.99 for the tube, $165 for the tire . Black wall tire, the white wall was about $20 more. Changed the tire and tube myself so labor= N/C. Also I bought Harbor freight wheel balancer a few years back on sale, so it got balanced also. It's not Rocket Science and gets done by mortal men every day of the week , Don't be afraid to save a few bucks and do it yourself.,,,
