Default Rear tire.

Where in Dallas (preferably North Dallas....Plano, McKinney, etc) is the best/most affordable place to a rear tire mounted and why? I already have the tire, just need it installed and needing to save money how I can.

I hope this helps! Cycle Gear installed mine at a fraction of the cost, but I did buy the tire from them, also on sale! so they got my mounting business. I believe my replacement tires are more than likely going to be purchased from them as well, cause their on sale now!

aka Bob

p.s. I see theirs a Cycle Gear store in Plano. It's at 2301 N. Central Expwy. space 182 ph # 214.473.8044

That would be the optimum way to go but I have limited tools and limited space......

Tire tool take little space and are cheaper than a tire change. Tire brake can be made from a couple 2x4's. A couple tire bars and a little time.
