    Default Where to get car tire mounted

    I live in Taylors, SC and recently visited Powersports of Greenville, SC where I purchased my 2014 RTS SE6. About five years ago they mounted a Kuhmo Ecsta Ast tire on the rear of my Spyder, same exact size as the original tire 225/50/15. Well, now they tell me they don't mount car tires anymore, in fact they haven't done so for 5 years. So my question is, where do all the Spyder owners take there Spyders to get a car tire mounted on the rear??? I don't have the equipment to remove it myself, so any help as to what dealer(s) will mount a car tire would be greatly appreciated.

    Try an auto or tire shop. They can do the swap but may not be able to balance.

    Honda Can-Am of Winston Salem will do it. I've always taken my Spyder there because the tech also balances it and checks the belt tension with a Gates meter as part of the job.

    When I get ready for a new rear tire (car tire), that's where I'll go. They're actually in Clemmons now, if it matters although Clemmons and Winston are "neighbors". They're about a block off of I40.
