Tool for guiding tires when changing

cadman50 · 11-05-2015, 07:33 PM

I searched this forum and can't find it. I think I saw a guy in PA that was selling these for our X3. it fits in one of the lug holes and you put the tire on it and slide it to the hub. If you know where this is can you post the link to the thread that it came from. Thanks.

Never mind....I just found it.

We use 2 because they locate the wheel better and anyway they are cheap enough.

Too late!

I needed those for my 9000. Since I added spacers - it has been a struggle.

Since I have my X4 wheels at a Tirehotel - very convenient for storing winter-/ summerwheels - they are all over Sweden, I recently started to also store my 9000 wheels at the Hotel.
Local tireshop/Hotel has a bargain - SEK 500/ $60 / £40 for a year including change and cleaning of wheels - twice a year. All to keep business local.
