Lee,
I would not trust my rims with the "tire hackers" at the tire shops. This
is something I would want to do myself. Get a couple of motorcycle tire
irons to remove the old tires and replace with the new. Use plenty of
soapy
water on the bead.
If you must go to a tire shop, ask first if they can guarantee not to bend
or gouge the rim edge. If no guarantee , then I would go somewhere else.
Getting the old tire off the bead is the tuff part. I used some 2x4's,
some
chain and a hinge to make my own bead braker.
Good luck,
Richard

I need to mount my new Hoosiers on one piece Douglas wheels. Can this be
done by myself? If not, would you recommend a place like an ATV service
center that deals with small wheels?
