I'm looking for a local shop that will install a DriveGuard tire on my spare Goldwing wheel. Please let me know if you know of a place that will do this in the greater Austin area.
I actually live in Georgetown, TX (just north of Austin) and I have been to every shop in town. No one wants to touch it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a search on the forum and couldn't find anything so I thought I would ask.
Thanks for the reply. I've been to all of the (car) tire shops in Georgetown and all of the motorcycle shops too. I went to all the Mom and Pop shops, the motorcycle dealer in town and all the big tire chain stores that I could find. None of them would touch it.
I haven't tried Walmart yet but will try in the morning. I'm trying to get the Driveguard mounted on my spare wheel. My fear is that since my spare wheel has a motorcycle tire on it they are uncomfortable with the situation. I couldn't even get someone to break the bead for me so that I could try and remove the motorcycle tire on my own.
Tell them you are building a custom trailer and want to use those rims. You already have one done but just now found a mate that happens to have a MC tire on it. What ever you do, never tell them the true application. If you do, then you put them in a spot they feel they could be liable.
Push comes to shove, cut that MC off the rim before taking it to the installer.
Discount Tire wouldn't sell me the Bridgestone Driveguard when I told them the true application (DFW Honda installs mine in the Dallas area). I ended up ordering online. For future reference I looked up the below info. It's just an idea, but you could tell them it's for a spare for one of the cars below. ???
