But do the math.. I have to change tires every 6,000 miles or so. That means at LEAST four tires a year (I'm thinking more like SIX tires a year), if I go through the dealer it's $200 for the front, $260 for the back that's $920 a year for two changes OR $1380 a year for three changes.

OR I can buy a tire changer for less then $100, and buy my tires form online, $80 a piece for the front, $120 for the rear.. so in the first year with two changes = $400 for the tires, plus $100 for the changer = $500 first year cost.

two tire changes = 920 - if I did it myself $500 for the first year we saved $420 the first year, $520 the seond and all following years.


If I have to do three changes we save $880 the first year, $980 the following years...

Then we invest thte differece, at 12% interest.. by the time we are retired at the age of 135 we would be bazillionaires..

WOW, now that I do the math, I should buy the REALLY nice one for $400, and we'd still save $20 ... hmm thanks hon for talking me into buying the NICE one!!





I'd only buy it because I'd be thinking of you.. of course if there is a BIG need for one on the boards, and in the clubs around here, maybe we could pool our money, spend less and buy a No-Mar tire changer.. Mount it in our shed so anyone that needs to (that's paid their share) can come by and use it. That way EVERyone can save huge amounts of money.

Since you've been so considerate in breaking down the cost savings for me on this dang tire changer, I have come up with my own cost savings.

Sell the bike. :yay:

I think your BMW is defective if you wear out tires in 6,000 miles.

OK, I stand corrected, it is not the bike that is defective.

It's the nut loose on the handlebars..

Why take a corner at 25, when you can do it at 50?? Just have to watch the toes.. stubbed them a few times.

I was looking at the NO-Mar changer that goes into the tow hitch on the back of my truck, or the floor mount.. if we can get 4 or 5 people that see the need for one, we can split the cost.. OR maybe we can find someone that already has one, that will let us use it and not cost us ANYTHING!!

Hey Bob, I just picked up a Coats 200 (predecessor to the 220, but I can't see the difference between the 2). Also have a static balancer on the way. If you want, you can come learn to use it first, and I can watch you scratch your rims and learn what not to do! haha. Anyway, it's available for use. I just don't have any experience with it yet.
