I got something inside my rear tire?

[MrMogensen]

normally they dont like taking tyre off unless a new 1 is going on cos its a messy job
but if you were to offer the guy cash incentive
your tyre would be off before you could put your wallet back in your jacket

Haha your right about that - at least at most shops.
I did offer him money for his time though!!!

On my old FJR, same size tire/rim, I picked up a nail. I decided to use a combo patch/plug however I needed the tire removed from the rim and shortly thereafter, re-installed. I brought my cordless drill and tools. I had my local shop remove the tire, I did my repair, they re-installed the tire and re-balanced. My local shop charges for a new tire if purchased there, then a separate charge for mount and balance. They charged me JUST THE MOUNT AND BALANCE.

IMHO, besides my plug, I think it cost me $12.00. $12.00 is cheap insurance as far as I'm concerned...

You likely don't need a new tire, however you may need a new shop to R&R that tire (I'd insist and pay them to R&R as if it was a new tire or go elsewhere).


IMHO, YOU HEARD IT IN THERE, it didn't go away........ Its YOUR LIFE SHOULD that tire blow, Not the mechanics...
