I found the tire changer but not the adapter... If I find it I'll let you know. I'd call around to the stores to make sure they don't happen to have one in back anyway.

Well I got the rear half way on. It's just really tight to do the pry method. Gonna go to HF tomorrow and see if they they still have the older model and moto wheel adapter or if the other two changers will work.

Man these tires are tight. Im having a hell of a time trying to get the rear tire on. Ive tried prying and using the bar to slide it on. The last section is just way tight.

Got the tires on. The rear didnt need any weights and the front just needed one.

Shinko are a Chinese copy of something.

I would buy BTs or Michelins for 50 bucks more. Not worth crashing IMO...then again if ur just putt putting around like Rangerscott, I guess it's all good.

Yokohamas and Shinko in a Korean company...:idk: I'm a bit of a "tire snob" myself... Helmets, tires, oil, etc I don't skimp on...some things I do.
