[QUOTE="mikerider, post: 1250962, member: 3249"] Hello all, this last weekend, I replaced the tires for the 1st time on my 2014A which has 8500 miles. I have a Nomar classic tire changer and Nomar balancer at home (plus all their goodies like yellow thing, bead holder etc...). I have changed about 8 sets of tires since I bought the NoMar, from Suzuki Bandit 1200 to Honda CBR-1100XX to BMW 1200GS (they all used the same size 180/55ZR17 as FJR) and I never had as much trouble as changing the FJR tires! I wonder what you experiences are? I had a very hard time removing the stock BT tires (even with the help of spoons) and I had a very hard time installing the Michelin Pilot Road 2 (non GT), also with the help of spoon in addition to the NoMar, which were the same brand same model that I always used on the Blackbird and BMW. Are there any tricks that I'm not aware of? I did the same way as I always did the previous 8 times and this is the 1st time I almost had to give up! If anybody around Los Angeles knows how to use NoMar and likes to change tires, you are welcome to use mine and I'll watch to see how you do it :-) Thank you all for your inputs! mike- [/QUOTE]
