Do i need to take it to a shop or can i do it myself? how much would a tire cost?

I think the stock front rim on the 83 185s is a beadlock rim. I'm not 100% sure, so i'll look at mine (same year/model) when i get home from work. If it's a beadlock, you'd be better off taking it to someone. I'm not that great with tire changes, so I'd probably opt to let someone else do it anyway. As far as tire cost, you can get a decent tire from Wal-mart for about $40 (I think they stock Carlisle brand). The removal of the old tire and mounting of the new tire should run about $15-$20

Your front rim IS a bead-lock rim. Best to let an ATV or bike shop install the tire.
