About
Old tires are dangerous. Hardened rubber offers zero grip, and dry-rotted sidewalls are a blowout waiting to happen. At Hate City Cycles, we don't just spoon tires on; we treat your wheels with respect. We use rim protectors to prevent scratches and precision balancing to ensure a vibration-free ride at speed.
Two Ways to Book:
The "Carry-In" (Recommended - Best Price): You remove the wheels at home and bring them to the shop.
Why do this? It saves you significant labor costs and gets you in and out of the shop in 48 hours.
Price: $40 - $50 per wheel (Labor).
The "Ride-In" Service: You drop off the whole motorcycle, and we handle the removal and installation.
Note: Cruiser/Touring bikes with saddlebags or exhaust blocking the axle will incur additional labor charges.
Price: $110+ per wheel (Labor).
⚠️ The "No-Compromise" Safety Rules: To ensure your safety, we strictly enforce the following:
Mandatory Tubes: If your wheels use tubes, we must install a new tube and rim strip with every new tire. We will not reinstall old, stretched rubber.
The "5-Year" Rule: We do not install tires with a date code older than 5 years, even if they look "new." Rubber degrades on the shelf.
Rim Locks: Dual-sport bikes with rim locks incur a small surcharge due to the extra labor required.
