Has anyone had trouble putting their stock tires on new wheels?

Just wondering if there are any issues taking stock tires off & remounting them; damaging te bead etc...? Did you change the tires or get new tires at the time you got new rims?

TIA

Is that Hyperblack or Anthracite? I was just looking at iForged's site yesterday. I like the Monaco's.

find yourself a good installer, and ask if you can watch. I have searched all over town after years of getting my rims hacked by various idiots.

He isn't worried about the rim, but the low profile tire itself. I've bought plenty of rims/tires off him...he's been my best friend since 6yrs old. If he wrecked a rim, he'd replace it no question...it was Asanti that mentioned it to him.

Just make sure the tire installer uses a TON of lube. Who cares how much he gets on the rim in the process - it washes off.

I think they call it Hyper Black and it is more of a matte black with no gloss. I had their centercaps painted matte black to match...
