Default Mangled rims, talk about bad luck

Finally bought another set of tires for my other Carbide.

Took them to discount tire like i normally do with all my tires.

They had a little trouble dismounting the rear. Im not mad, they are replacing them for me.

Talk about bad luck









At least the fronts are on

I don't know the bolt pattern, but I can sympathize with the tire shop. We HAD a tire machine that you could rig to work with 8 and 10 inch wheels, but it got traded for another table top machine. The new(to us) machine works awesome for cars and trucks, and even has a reverse mount set up that works with motorcycle wheels. Our buggy and golf cart wheels are a real PITA to dismount and mount without scratching them, I have it down to a science now, but early one, I was gouging the sh** out the wheels, good thing they were tossers, lol.

Cool, I'm coming up with between 136 and 137 for the rear. I'm sure either would work.

How are the larger tires working out? Any losses or gains in performance?

They are amazing, loved them so much I decided to put the same tires on the other carbide, of course this time wasn't so smooth.

It seems as though the engine and CVT don't have to work so hard anymore, kinda weird.
