Changing tyres 99% will scratch rims?

[Saviourwu]

hi guys, a friend i know told me whenever he change tyres there will always be some scratches. He has been to many different tyres shops. Even some widely recommended shops such as Soh Brothers, p-- ---g, etc, all have scratched his rims to some extend.

 

Any idea if any tyre shop gives guarantee for no scratch of rims or workmanship is superb?

Hmm.. try not changing tyres?

[Roh96]

Have u watch the process of how they change the tyre? The risk of scratching is very high, anything can happen. That is why I never believe in spending money on expensive rims.

Do not use tubeless tire (buy inner tubes for tire)

South East Tyres did a good job,no scratches so far.

[Alant]

We take precaution while parking or stopping at road side with care not to scratch the rims, but somehow when go for tyres change or even tyres rotation, they will be scratched.

if no choice gotta change the tire, can we tell the boss of tyre shop that his man has to do it carefully and we dont rush him..... the pneumatic 'gun' can scratch the 'recessed hole' of the rims' deep-set bolts, or his metal tool can scratch the rims during removal/installation of the tire from/onto the rim.

 

walk to the next shop if the boss not interested in what you ask.

 

its workmanship of the man and choice of shop of the car owner.

I second that ..... pretty happy with the service provided by South East. It will be diffcult to ensure that 100 % but as long as they bother and look after the rims, it is good enough for me. I agree that it is frustrating that we take special care and attention to ensure that the rims are not damaged but the rims are scratched when changing the tyres.

most tyres shops do not invest in a "guard" whereby it is inserted to the metal bar to minimise the scratches along the rim when dismounting the tyre from the rim. regular maintenance of the machine to ensure no debris are trapped is another preventive maintenance. The scratches in the recess of the nuts quite unavoidable as the thickness of the gun bolt is pretty standard. you can always remind to the tyreman not to scratch the rims even though they are already aware.

Depending on how much the shop values your business.

 

Does not mean you use cheap rims gives them the right not to take precaution to damaging it.

 

I have beening using SE Tyres for a long time and I never have a problem with them as they treat all customer's rims with care.

 

Stamford at Lokyang also not bad....but I would still prefer SE to do rotation...change tyre for me.

[SimonTan]

If really concern about scratched rim, then perhaps apply a layer of engine oil the edge of the rim, during removal of old tyres. At least it reduces the frictional rub, engine oils suppose to protect metal to metal wear right?

 

Actually by right should also wash the entire rim, to remove the brake dust, before doing the balancing of wheel.Oh...also remember to install the valve cap before the balancing wheel as well.

To prevent damage to the alloy rim edges, shop should use tyre change turntable jaw clamps and rim protectors when clamping the tyre and plying the beads

To prevent damage to the alloy lug nuts it's best to use specially coated nylon impact socket.

best way to avoid rim scratch during tyre change is dont change tyre

A good tyre shop should be 99.9 % wont scratch your rim when do tyre change

Please do remember NO one can guaranty it .

Those popular shops here in the forum some are popular becuase they give so call compeitive price(cheap)

they are not popular good workmanship tyre shop.

if you go to tyre shop for any tyre change/repair/balancing you see carefuly how the mech works you already can more or less tell the quality standard.

Slogan : you pay pea nut you get monkey

Monkey only ask for pea nut from you

When you buy any auto parts you need installation that is Workmanship involved.

you have to be fair to them so that they can provide you the their best service to you

I buy tooth paste i go for the price becuase they are not going to brush my teeths

lol ya very true.

 

but like many bro mention S.E. i go before . their service and workmanship is indeed good, but must say first, their price not as cheap as many popular place alot of bro mention in forum lol.

but my own personal experience if you really dun want the shop to scatch your rim, better dun go rotate / change tyre when u see a lot of crowd outside. u see the guy change tyre its not a easy job.

with all the guys queing up. he will be rushing to complete rather then take his time take care of your rims/ tyre .

if u no hurry, just call them before them go when they free .right? LOL :)
