Tire mount options?

[Vex]

I bought a set (4) of cd5 7 spoke rims in FAIR condition. They have tires w/65% tread or so. 3 are 185/65/15 and one is 195. Which makes my alignement bad. Since I have the 195 paird with a 185 in the front. Im sure if I put the 195 in the back, it will fix that but it will eat alot of freaken tire tread.

My OEM 90-91 wheels still have good tires 90% or so. I bought them about 2 months ago.

I was wondering can I have a place take off the tires from the cd5 and mount the ones from my oem on them for cheap? I know this is possible, just where is cheapest?

185 and 195 is the width in mm

the second number is a percentage

for one, put the oddball on the BACK PASSENGER SIDE for it to be little to no factor, your alignment isn't gonna suffer.

when you get in your car, you change the camber and 99.9999999% shops don't account for that, a 170lb person can change the camber in a 2500lb car by .5 degrees in the front, FAR MORE than a slightly taller tire will.

as for price, call and ask, tell them you want to dismount a set of tires from some loose wheels and put them on the wheels on your car.

it will usually run anywhere from $10-$20 per wheel, if you can find somewhere to do it for $40-$50 total, you've done good.

it will also cost more to have all 8 mounted and dismounted vs having 8 dismounted and 4 mounted, and if you have no plans to keep your oddball cd5 set of tires, then you'll usually have to pay $2-$3 per tire to dispose of them

it depends on the shop, call around

Thanks, I will do what you said and put it in the back passenger side. The tires (185) still has a bit of tread to go, I might just buy a new tire for the 195.

but until then, your option should work.
