Houston TX Tire Change
Does anyone know of a good shop in the Houston TX area that I can take my wheels and new tires to have them mounted? My local Angleton TX Kawasaki dealer (Go) will not do it unless I buy my tires from them for almost twice as much as I get a nice new fresh set from ebay. My last tire change I went to a small shop in Freeport TX they scratched and lightly bent my rear wheel! So if anyone knows of a good shop to have this done please let me know, I have bought a new rear wheel and dont want if to get f@#$%! up again..

I take mine to an independent car tire shop. Their machine doesnt scratch the rim, and they do a great job. I think 15 bucks per tire. They dont balance, but I static balance them myself. Look around, it doesnt have to be a bike specific shop.

Discount Motorcycle Tires, 2212 Spencer in Pasadena. Good tire prices, huge selection, they mount them for free if you buy there. Still reasonable if you already have a tire. They do a LOT of tire changes, haven't seem them scratch one yet.

I went to Grand prix motoring, Very nice place and people. Worth the 1 hour 30min drive. Price was a bit more than I was hoping at 52.00 just to have them mounted and balanced. And that was with a discount for not having to remove the old tire's. So 82.00! just in having the tires removed and a new set put back on later. Thats 20.00 dollers more that what it cost to have one wheel powder coated!!!!..lol Sucks getting a great deal on my tires just to get raped at the shops...

I'm surprised to hear that. They gave me the best price of all the places I checked with. Then again they did my exhaust and pcIII and a few other things, not my tires. Sorry to hear they charged so much.
