How do you change a tire on a van and how much would it cost?

Question by Heather Leigh.: How do you change a tire on a van and how much would it cost?
A friend of mine was recently driving a Honda Odyssey and hit a turn too fast. A chunk of the front tire was taken out. I heard that to replace that tire, you must buy all four tires and re-align everything. Is this true, or can you just swap it like a flat? And how much would either of these scenarios cost?

Answers A.S.A.P would be appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by Robert G
Unless the other tires are worn you shouldn’t need to replace them. The labor to R&R the tire from the vehicle is usually free with the purchase of the tire + mount/balance. You shouldn’t have to pay for the labor to remove the wheel from the vehicle.
You may need to check the alignment after such an impact.
For one tire plus mount balance I’d figure $ 150. Alignment is about $ 80. It depends on the tire you get too.

no you can just put one tire on if thats what you want. Some place have a policy to sell new tires on an axel, so you would have to buy 2 at a time.

the only reason you would need to buy more than that one tire is if all the other tires are old any ways and you WANTED to replace them. Dont let the tire companies tell you that you HAVE to buy more than one tire. IF they do, take your business elsewhere

You DONT have to buy all new tires, unless the remaining 3 tires are worn down noticably more than a new tire of the same tread pattern would be.

If all the tires were close to new condition before the incident, then just buy ONE tire, make sure it;s the exact same make and model tire, the Tread patterns MUST be the same!
(unless your driving an older pick up truck or a junk vehicle around.)

The new tire must be put on a Rim and MAY or MAY NOT need to be re-aligned, it depends on how bad the wheel got smacked.
(once again you can take a chance, install the tire on the rim yourself, and not align it, but you’ll definately notice if the wheel is off alignment once you go around 30mph-65mph, you will get vibrations, or the car will PULL you to the left or right or possibly make noises.)

If the Rim that was in the accident is still okay, then all you gotta do is take it to a tire shop, get them to put a new tire on it, they will balance the tire and everything.

Then they put the Wheel back on the car, and put it on an alignment machine.
(usually costs around $ 100-200 depending on where you live or where you go.)
