New Heidenau K60 front mounted tonight August 16

[S10EastTN]

Howdy from East TN. Just got back to house from garage, where I spent last many hours installing front Heidenau K60 tire. I'm not experienced with tire changes, but I've done a few. That's why it took me so long. Thanks to Twisties on this forum for his incredible step by step tutorial for wheel removal. The tire change itself I did from memory, with my wife holding tire irons every once in a while. Lots of tire goop, too. Had a bit of trouble telling when beads were seated, because I wasn't sure if I heard two "pop, pop" sounds. But think it's now done right. Remounted. Tomorrow I'll mount the rear tire after I test ride the front to make sure no issues.

Happy night to all. Thank you, Twisties.

Its funny you posted this since 3 days ago i had my local BMW shop install them after i bought them there. I can tell you its worth the money and they really fling some mud and grass. I went trailblazing yesterday in florida and with my OEM tires installed i was slipping and sliding everywhere. Now i am tanking through everything and don't cringe when i see mud or sand. ::002:: The only thing that bugs me is that I had to turn off TCS to really enjoy the tires and their epicness. ::006::

Be sure and pump the breaks before you go out for a test ride.
