If I have jacked up my car and switched the rims, does this count as experience?

Ugh...stop making a mockery of this thread, folks.....

SprayGUN, they are a specialized high end tuner, not a tire shop...the employee is most likely for installing customer's wheel purchases....

By specialist they are talking about being able to deal with huge rims with low profile tires with the possibility of run flats without damaging the rims or tires.
Not very often will you be handling 45+ sidewalls which is piss.

If I wasnt settled into my job I would jump on this, cant believe the right person hasnt come along yet.

Basically, if you have never mounted a tire with a 30 series sidewall, shut the fuck up. They will not hire you. You think you would be useful, when you are hired to speed shit up, and the first set of 24's that come in, you can't even get the bead broken without fucking up the rim.

Don't even bother wasting their time.

holy shit :english:

[SprayGUN]

30 series sidewalls. I HATE THEM lol.

I remember my first set of tires. On 19" Chrome Rims for a bmw. I found out then what it was like to sweat bullits. Such a rough time putting this tires on. What made it worse for me was the fact they were normal mount instead of reverse mount.

[pinoyhero]

Good luck with the hiring, did someone leave?

:werd: mounting your 65 sidewall truck tires and jumping into 30s, 35s, 40s is a big change IMO, you can't just push the sidewall down with your hands, you should be pretty fken proficient in using 2 bead levers as well (IMO thats the cleanest fastest way to do low pros) , the hardest tires i've done (i know there are worse) were on an 07 911, 19's w/ 30 sidewall, took about 45mins with a coworker (my first time with such tire dimensions and the owner watching us, which makes it twice as shitty :thumbsdow )

what models of mounter/balancer do you guys have (i'm guessing Hunter something..)

[SCHIDER23]

I had to do 35 profile runflats for a corvette once and they were a pain in the ass, and what made it worse was the owner was observing what I was doing ( friend of the owner). I think it took me about and hour and 20 for 2 runflats, after working on tires with such low profile I have respect for the people that do that all the time , good luck on finding someone.:thumbsup:

I don't think it's hunter. I would know if you said it though. Probably second biggest other then hunter.

Hardest tire I have ever done would have to be a 29.5-25. Wahoo, 1 hour of sweating your ass off, with a co-worker to change one tire. Having to do 4 in the heat, with a broken bead breaker was a lot of fun.

The one thing I like, is we don't let people watch us. Even if it was the manager's brother or something, they still have to stay in the showroom.

You never heard this from me... but supposedly one guy working on a corvette, who possibly could have been me, but I don't know :nut: Might have taped a broken TPMS sensor on a corvette. As the story goes, it still worked, it was just cracked. He might have also been the next door neighbor.

[tirebob]

I have never minded watchers, as long as they are observing from a safe distance of course... If it was my car I would like to keep an eye myself. It is amazing how much better and more responsibly people work when the car owner is paying attention... lol! If you are even remotedly skilled and aren't doing anything wrong, being observed shouldn't be a worry.

On topic, finding skilled people for custom work is tough for sure... GL!

I always feel sorry for the guy that works on my wheels and tires.

275/30/19 .... Always takes 2 guys and 30 minutes per tire. I understand why they charge more to mount and balance 18" and higher wheels.

I think mounting them looks easier than dismounting the tires.
