Topic: Tire mounting

Does Yokahama bring the trailer to every event?  Specifically will it be at Gingerman?

If it doesn't have 2 doors, 3 pedals, and 5 lug nuts per wheel - It isn't a real race car

Re: Tire mounting

Pretty sure it is only the races with Yokohama in the name.
The local Walmart will mount tires but get in early Sunday to avoid the Lemons rush.

Re: Tire mounting

There’s also a couple people at any given race with the HF tire mounter that can make it happen with some beer and swearing.

Yeah I have one, works ok when bolted to the concrete floor.  Otherwise I have a local shop that does them for $15 a tire

I have been known to change tires with a dirt track bead breaker and tire irons.

Has anyone tried making a Reese hitch adapter for one?

Re: Tire mounting

We just bolt ours to the trailer with some blind nuts. Or we would if it ever came up.

Yeah that's how I secure mine. I welded 2" square tubing to it that slides into the receiver.

I only use it for motorcycle tires though. I mounted a car tire once with it, and that was just a 185/60-13. I'm never doing another car tire again lol

Re: Tire mounting

You need to invest in serious tire snot to hand mount tires without hating life.

The tube bender I borrowed to cage our Merkur (coming back next year, I SWEAR) was set up to mount on a 2" receiver. Did have to watch the direction of the bend and the hatch glass on the Exploder we had it mounted to, but :notbadobama:.
