I've done this a few times because I like to experiment with different tires for my i180 rims that were originally made for scooters or motorcycles. The changes also include putting the stock tire back on the rims too. Anyway, here's the steps:
  1. Load Segway wheels and existing tires in the back of the van with the new tires and/or tubes.
  2. Drop everything off at the local tire shop (Les Schwab, in my case).
  3. Pick everything up an hour later.
  4. Go home and mount the new setup on my Segway.



My tire shop does this all for about $15.00. Once they did it for free. I've bought all my wheels and tires for my motor vehicles for the last 20+ years from the same shop and trust them implicitly. They damaged a full moon hubcap once. I ordered a new one and they paid for it. A good tire shop is a great benefit to anyone who drives and glides.
