24" Wheels...Where did you get your tires put on???

[ranorris2]

Just call around. There is only one shop in my town with the equipment to do 24's

That is the problem...i have called around but the only shop around that can do 24's is discount tire, the small shops usually dont have there number to call posted online, so I will just have to drive around until I find one that can do it...my wheels, tires, and sensors come will all be here saturday so I have a few days to try and find a place....

I appreciate your guys input and letting me know that discount wanted way more than the job is worth.

Bad thing is most small shops do not have tire machines that does large wheels.

shops down here charge $250 to mount 24s... it is harder, especially if running a lo-pro.

I have the B-I-L discount...mwahhahahha.

Its not harder, its all bs.. Its all in the technician. Sure its gonna be harder to the person who's never put on anything but balloon 65 series tires. But I watched the guy throw mine on and it took him about 5 minutes each tire. And his machine was nothing fancy.

On another occasion, I had some incompetent fools trying to mount my 18s on low pros and it took them about an hr each wheel. Come to find out it was an reverse mounted rim and they didnt even know that. This is after taking it to 4 other shops where the same thing took place... smh...

All in the technician

Harder to mount 24s is BS.
I payed $15 each at Discount Tire for my 24s when I had them but then again I bought the tires from them so they hooked me up.
You can try out various NTB locations in the Plano/McKinney area.
You can also hit Buckner lane in Dallas and there will be a wheel shop on almost every corner that can mount up to 26s. Bet Moonshadow (also on Buckner) can do it for way cheaper.

Thanks guys....I will be giving moonshadow a call tomorrow and see what they charge...or maybe just drive out to buckner and go up and down the street until i find one that will do it for cheap haha..

Do you guys know if the tire shops can program the new sensors? And if they do program them, what will happen while im driving with my new sensors on the truck and have my oem's in the back, will it give me some error code or something since it will be picking up 8 sensors?

Another question I have is can I just throw all the sensors in the spare tire and never worry about the sensors when I swap wheels around? I did this in my lexus and had no problems, but my lexus didn't show each individual pressure, it would just notify you of low tire pressure and you had to figure out which one. The tahoe tell each individual pressure of the tires so I was not sure if it will work. Anyone done this?

I would say get new sensors put in the 24s. You could also just hack them out of your old wheels. Under inflated tires are the main cause for rim damage (like bends) outside recklessness and cheap wheels.
To reprogram the new sensors remove all your valve stem caps and then press and hold unlock and lock simultaneously while standing by the drivers side front wheel. When the truck honks twice TPMS learning is active. Let go of the remote buttons and then quickly start letting air (or pumping air) into each tire until you hear a honk, then you will proceed to the next tire. When you hit the last tire the truck will honk twice, which means TPMS learning was successful and is now finished.
The order should be;
1. Drivers side front (first tire to pump, or let air out of.)
2. Passenger side front
3. Passenger side rear
4. Drivers side rear (last tire to pump, or let air out of.)

Well thats easy enough...ill give that a shot if the tire shop cant do it. Thanks

I tried the manual method... Never got all 4 to program.. Discount tire does it for free with a little machine they have. Took them 2 minutes..

 

[ranorris2]

Well I ended up calling a different discount tire and I let them do the install, it was 108 + tax...here she is with her new kicks...I love em and even though everyone has these wheels on this forum, I am one of a kind out here...what do ya think
