Hey all I've got a question. Do any of you have tire mounting equipment in your home shops? I've thought a couple times lately how nice it would be to be able to unmount and mount tires easily. I've

I bought one of the HF changers on sale. I have to say that it is a real improvement over hand tools! I use it on wire wheels and had to modify it slightly to hold the wheels properly. It is set up f

What's worked for me is to become friends with a local tire shop, I give them my tire business, they do all my mounting, etc., for free with their Italian-built super tire changer that does not harm

If you require work on alloy wheels, I'd skip purchasing one unless you really want to spend some. Even shop ones can scratch wheels. A real beauty that most shops don't even usually have is the Hunt

No, no! I don't mean changing them, I do that now. I mean mounting and dismounting tires from wheels, like a tire shop would do. I'm wondering if it's possible to be able to do that myself without a

In the old days, folks did it with long tire irons. You can still buy such irons, but you will run into problems: breaking the bead of the tire away from the wheel requires a lot of downward force, a

What Chris doesn't mention that these days it seems you're just as likely to damage the tire with said tire irons (whether it's inexperience or weaker sidewalls or just the amount of force to budge t

To do this, just put a 4 foot length of 2x6 like a ramp up the tire, on the rubber only. Drive a car up the ramp, pop. Worth knowing, because often in restorations you'll want to blast, clean, and pa

Chris, several years ago I bought a used Coates 4040A. Got a good price but it was still pricy. Worth its weight in gold. Keep it under the carport. Probably saved the cost in trips to town I didn't

I paid $600 for a used Coates RC-20A a few years ago, after having had $1100 worth of wheels scarred by some bozos at a local tire shop. I figure it's a preventive measure. Plus I don't spend hours

For many years my brother and I have been changing tires manually. I have 2 tire irons that I purchased at a truck parts place and an old manual bead breaker. I have found that 14 inch and up can be
