Mounting Tires

[Deleted member 21174]

If I don't want to mount kart tires myself and there are no kart shops around who else can do this? ATV shops? A general tire shop? A kart shop running a Trackside trailer? Just curious what the options are.

not many ,shops gonna charge ya 10-20 bucks a tire. If they even do it.
some one at the track may do it .
the thing is if a shop does it without a tire ring its going to stretch the tire and a high probability its not going to be much good after that.

I'm sure I can get help - but it sounds like this is something I need to put on the "to learn" list

Absolutely correct. And before you attempt it, get a quality steel tire ring; I have used an adjustable one I got from JC Specialty years ago that works fine.

For sure, let folks know where you live and I guarantee another racer will help!
