Well I just started this week, but I'm enjoying it. After applying for a job at Discount Tire for 3yrs. I finally got the job. I'm still learning but I'm already doing everything like balancing, mounting tire's on rims and such, etc...The only thing I'm not allowed to do is "lug up" (mounting tires on vehicles) due to insurance reasons, I have to have a full time employee watch me lug up for a week or so before I can do it on my own which is all good. I'm getting the hang of everything as a newbie, but it's one of the most fun jobs I could ask for. jamminzz

Cool deal, I've got a set of 40's you can practice balancing!
Thanks, I just got off awhile ago, I'm having a pretty good time doing this. The only thing I don't like about it is mounting low profile tires. Like today I had to mount new low pro's on a set of 20"s which suck'd bad, it takes a good amount of prying, strength, and weight to break the bead and pull the "dead" tire off. Oh well I'm still getting used to it but it's fun, as for balancing 40"s I'll pass, 35"s are already kinda difficult.

Tires are fun!! fixed any flats yet?
I enjoyed doing them because they were all the same size, brand, and weight, and they all went on the same size rim
On top of that, I didn't even have to really balance them

There's been some pretty nice rigs that have come in, a 70 or so Bronco rolled in with 37" MTR's came in yesterday and I checked it out. Not to mention there's several set's of Xterrains and Swampers (used) sitting in the back waiting to for someone to buy.

Lol.. 1funny1 I'll let ya'll know when some more come in, they're usually pretty cheap, but it all depends on how much tread is left, because one set of Xterrains has about 10% tread left...I don't think anyone wants that.fourwheelerjeff said:
