| Cheap tire dismount
Where do i find a cheap place to dismount 17" off?
I know Advanced is $5 to dismount but they are 40 mins away from me...
preferrably Vancouver/Richmond/Burnaby area.
crappy tire wanted $90 JUST to take tires off.... WTF 
quality do not matter, i don't care about scratched rims.

$5 is usually the norm to remove, its mounting that is killer

naaa, its just as tough to remove a low profile tire as it is to mount.
especially if the tire has been on the wheel a while.

so where's the cheapest place to mount tires without alot of rim damages.
I bought tires from Big O before and they kind of scrapped off the clear coats off the edge of my stock rims.
