If I remember correctly, we used to get Hoosiers direct from the mfg. at Discount Tire.  That just serves to remind me how much I hate mounting tubed drag slicks.

Ours are tubeless. It _still_ takes about an hour for them to mount the tires. One of our wheels seems to be about 1-2 mm too big (in diameter), causing all sorts of bead fit issues. It takes about 45 minutes to mount one of the wheels, 15 minutes to do the rest of the set. :-)

They're getting better. The first time I took them in to get changed, the entire crew took turnes at that wheel, and it took almost 3 hours.

I am reminded constantly why I don't change my own tires. There are more important things to worry about in my life!
