I now have the tyres and the rims for summer and winter on my 2 golfs. As I will nowbe switching a lot of rubber around to get the right tyres and wheels together in sets of four, how hard is this to do yourself without recourse to kwikfit? (to save a bit of cash) buy a tyre lever and get going??
I have done it on my beetle wheels.. but it didnt really matter if i marked them!! Its not that hard.. but if u dont want to damage the surface of the wheels it will be a tough job!! or look in the Industrial exchange & mart and get a cheap 2nd hand machine that tyre places use!! www.iem-net.co.uk Edited by: billy bug
It can be done but it`s a pain in the arse, you`ll end up scratching the rims and probably only do one wheel and then give up! Plus you`ll have to get them all balanced. If the tyres are already on you`ll have to brake the beads, best to let the tyre place do it all for you, a lot less hastle.
