  • On sale for $30 until may 27th. Def gonna get one. Thanks for posting the vid!

    It says no bigger than 7.5 x 16" tire..anyone ever done bigger?

  • For $30 that's a lot of steel.

    buy it buy it buy it

  • I'd love to see this thing used to change the 20's on my Dodge Quad Cab. I'm not saying it can't, I'm just wondering how difficult it'd be.

  • Depends, some tires that look hard are easy and vice versa. If your wheel has a deep "void" for the opposite bead to rest in mid-mounting the process goes easier.

    If you've got lots of chrome etc you'll want to duct tape lots of parts. That cheap chinese red lead paint flakes off onto rims etc very easily.

  • Are you one of those tool's that still uses a bubble balancer?

  • That's me. Works great on 70 series tires and anything on the rear.

    I also sometimes do a static balance on a brakeless hub/bearing assy; spin the tire and add weights until it stops in random positions eg not the same place every time.

  • Dude you have to bolt that thing down. I bought the same one. I secured it to my garage floor with lag bolts and lead sleeves, and it works great. Best 49.99 I've ever spent. but you've gotta secure that sucker to the floor!!

  • and i you don't wanna bolt it to the floor, bolt it to a shipping pallet.

see all

  • @MrLeonard55 stability

  • This guy reminds me of Don Knots.I wonder if he does oil changes.Now that would be a hoot.

  • perfect way to ruin some rims right there lmaooo

  • What I've learned at a friends tire shop is that you remove the tire on the back side of the rim to prevent damage to the chrome or aluminum facing of the rim.

    but all that slamming on your rim its pretty oblivious on what damage you would do after your finish. Now you created another problem which is balancing the wheels with those dents.

  • hay dum ass try mounting the tire macheine,It works a lot beter

  • @columbiawifi

    yes, we use one in our shop daily and we have done up to 20" tires with ours.

  • I use to work at a tire shop and man I thought using those machines were hard, this thing is back breaking XD Though it gets the job done, that's all that matters in the end, and there is nothing wrong with a bit of hard work.

  • damn dude you need to bolt that thing down

  • tormoz

  • Would you bolt the damn thing down.
