Hey guys. Has anyone ever put new tires on the front rims. At work today I decided to put two new front tires on my MM. Holy cow what a pain in the butt they are to get on the rim. Those tires dont like to go on the rims really easy. Happy I can go home now and enjoy a nice cold BEER.:beer:

I had the same problem. Road Force balancing (at the dealer...they have the only Road Force machine around) showed one of my brand new tires had a hard spot in it. The tire shop I bought the tires from gave me a replacement with no hassle, but the dealer tech could NOT get it to mount properly. I had to bring the rim and tire back to my tire shop and have them mount the replacement, then bring the ass'y back to the dealer to be put on the car. :shake: Apparently it requires some special "Corghi" tire machine to do it right...
