tire changers

Post by mdubya »

Tire machines have come up in discussion a few times lately. This is a pretty cool, reasonably priced rig:

FWIW-I have a Harbor Freight manual rig. It is cumbersome at times, and it always needs a 3rd or 4th hand to help with mounting. However, it is always more convenient for me to struggle with it by myself at 9 or 10 PM or 1 or 2 AM even, than it is to run down to the local shop to have tires swapped out for a fee. I never balance off road tires, and I rarely balance road tires, so that isn't an issue for me. However, you can get a balance stand and wheel weights for an additional $100-$150.

One of my friends reviewed one for a magazine, and he really liked it enough to actually buy one.

I just noticed that they have a Coates retrofit. That's new. Daddy likes!
