1st Tire Change

Post by stretchride »

Tackled my first tire change Saturday. It was overdue and I had been putting it off, but there's a lot of riding coming up soon, so......

It went better than I expected and I got the front and back done.
Need to get out there today and see if they're holding air :barf:

In case anyone is on the fence about doing it, this walkthru helped:

I just did the same thing Stretch and used Ned's walk through as well. It is excellent.

What tires are those?

Congrats! :cheers: Sore afterwards? I was. That set I put on were Michelin AC10's. Back in Oct when I got them online they were $139 for the pair shipped, which I thought was pretty good for an aggressive DOT tire. At the time I was slowly working on getting a tag for the KTM which was why I went DOT, but I still haven't done that so I can't really report on their street manners. Off road has been pretty good, I think I like the rear better than the front but no real complaints. Haven't been in the rocks much yet, but from single track to mx track they're keeping me up and look no worse for wear!

What did you go with?
