Tire Changing In Neohio?

Hey fellow Ohio VFRs. I'm coming off a dual sport and am quite spoiled with changing my own tires.

These whte rims have me on the ropes. Tires ordered. Where to get them swapped is the issue.

Any recomendations within a resonable distance of 44077?

TIA

the front is arriving today ..   :biggrin:

No idea where to get them swapped. I had my tires changed by a guy down closer to akron than cleveland, but that doesn't help.

Outside of my last trip have had good service at the honda dealer in mentor. Western reserve honda. Could call them and find out cost. Never had tires done. Still using the ones that came on the bike. Right down the road a new shop opened up. Think its lake motorsports or something like that.

Thanks Yoshi and Snake

I called Great Lakes.

Parts guy told me $21 per wheel if I carry them in. I'm supposed to call the service manager tomorrow to verify.

If it is $21 per wheel then I have no issue with that. I suspect there will be "extras" on the tab.

I'll let ya know.

I will also call the "Lake" place.

Peace

That is a great price from a dealer if they don't nickel and dime you with add on fees (tire disposal, etc.)

Even so, I pay $30 I think, at Cyclegear and they add on $2 disposal and tax.  Seems like they never have black weights, so I bring my own.  Got to get set up to do this myself...

Yeah. Make sure they don't nickel and dime you. I got cheated once like that. Quoted $35 for the tire change. Had to pay an additional $60 labor, cause it took an hour to change the tire on the wheel I carried in, and labor wasn't part of the quote. Never went there again.

Drove by to get the name of the other place. It's Lake County Motorsports. # 440-951-4400. They are new might get a deal if they are trying to get a customer base. My mechanic at work said he uses shade tree in middlefield and costs $30 a pop. But thats where he orders his tires too. Hope this helps.

I'll post up. I think I'll take the front first and see how that goes.

just hope they respect the White Hoops.

I could swap it myself if I was willing to tattoo the rims ;)

ShadeyTree won't do it unless the tires are purchased from them.. then it is 25 or 28 ...can't remember.

Thanks for the recon. I'll call Lake County MS.

Just dawned on me (after a brief phone convo) Lake Erie Motorsports ...

NO

They asked ...VFR? Is that a cruiser or a sport bike?

Painted rims? Ummm.... sure. The mechanic will be in a day or two this week.
