Zack, no I used a tire stand to mount them. I have a friend who teaches Auto Mechanics at a local high school, and I mounted them using their tire changer. The actual mounting of the tires was not that big of a deal. Getting the bead to "seat" however, was another matter.

InjectedSS, just for "Today's Chuckle", on the side of my ET Streets, moulded into the sidewall it says, "Do not exceed more than 35psi to seat beads". Just DON'T see how anyone can get those beads to seat at 35psi???

Thanks again to all who replied.

ok, I was gonna say! I work at a tire shop, and sometimes even with machines it a PITA for some tires. I think what the sidewall means about not passing 35psi is when its on the changer. at a certain point when we cant seat beads, we take the assembly to "the cage" and grab an air hose. The cage keeps us safe in case of a tire explosion
