How much do you pay to have tires put on?

My new tire thread got me wondering what everybody pays to have tires put on their bike?

Me $10 a tire

Too much. I'm changing mechanics (ask me about the Master Cylinder rebuild he just did).

Depends. If I take the bike and tires for them to take completely do it, it's close to $100.

If I take just the rims, most shops charge $20-$25 a tire. If I have a friend help me hand mount them, it costs me food, beer, and a few busted knuckles.

$0 Having friends that own their own bike shop are priceless.

He even balances it too.

At the Track is like $20. HD shop is $35/tire.
Neither the Yamaha/Honda or the Suzuki/Kawi shop will touch a buell rim

Aren't they all the same??

Thinking about just buying a no-mar for myself, then I can do all mine and my friends.

I have my own changer so I am likewas92v and sweat a little and curse a lot depending on the tire. pilot powers go on real easy but I had a real battle withthe 2cts for some reason.

they're probably put off by the rim brakes

I pay $20...but there is a place that I obviously won't go to that charges $48.

20 at Toads per tire. Free at Slingers if you buy em there. And about 35 a tire at the Harley shop. Guess where I go? Lol
