Re: Who installs "your" tires?
Lots of good info in this thread. I need to change two of my tires soon but I never attempted on a Model A. Doesn't look too difficult.
Just curious. Has anyone tried a Harbor Freight Tire Changer? http://www.harborfreight.com/portabl...ger-69686.html I have one and have changed both car and M/C tires with it. It works just like the one I used working in a Gas Station ~ 45 year ago... |

Re: Who installs "your" tires?
Forgot to ask... What are your opiniuns of Lucas Tires? http://www.lucasclassictires.com/19-...ad-BW-295p.htm They are located ~ 15 miles from me so I can go pick them up. Maybe they install, I'll have to check.

Re: Who installs "your" tires?
Big O did mine without a scratch. I suspect other tire stores could do the same. Shop around and don't mention the phrase show car.

Re: Who installs "your" tires?
I mounted tires on my E-28 rims this afternoon, at least four of them. I will need to replace one of the inner tubes. I used dish soap and water and my own elbow grease! No tire irons needed. I put the tires in the sun to soften them up. It is really very easy.

Re: Who installs "your" tires?
I have had my Model A for a little over a year now and just changed my tires. I changed them without removing the wheels from the car. I used a garbage bag and vegetable soap on the tire beads to install the new tires. It wasn't too difficult.
