You might try Walmart auto center if you have one.  The one in my area will mount most anything 10-15 bucks each. They have done my boat trailer tires, atv tires, anything I can carry in. I do always watch from a viewing area as there have been a couple they tried to mount backwards.....

Thanks for the idea I will give them a call. I did call two tire stores I thought maybe ....anyway they said no they don't do anything that small. I know there's a shop that does the lawn power equipment I might give them a call but I will call Walmart tomorrow and see what they say thank you for the suggestion.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I work for walmart tire and Auto center. The machines that we have are not equipped to handle motorcycles or ATV tires. Of course that is just my store, you would have to call around.

A hair dryer would work as well.  But if you're a bachelor there likely isn't one in the house.

Batchelor here :) I have a hairdryer. I tried it but it took forever to heat up the tire so I switched to the oven method that I discussed further in the thread.

screw the hair drier, go with a heat gun https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-5100-BTU-Heat-Gun/1000896128

Good suggestion, randyo.  Will be needing to put on 5 tires this year, so worth getting (although I bought a less expensive one).
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

I put a City Grip 2 on the rear of my 500 late last year. It's nearing 2000 miles & still looks like a new tire. I'm pretty impressed.
