[Shop-talk] HF Tire Changer

Check out this site for some cool tire changing equipment:

Take a look at their videos.  They make it all look so easy!  Anyway, 
I think the reason to have a tire changer, HF or otherwise, is really 
convenience for most people.  And a little bit of that "I just want 
to do it myself" attitude we all have on this list.  Unless you 
really change a lot of tires, the money saved is minimal.  If this is 
really just about 9 tires, ask around at a few places.  Just tell 
them you want to dismount 9 tires and you don't feel like spending a 
fortune.  Someone should offer you a "package deal".  If you do it 
when you're buying tires for some other car, or having some sort of 
work done, your negotiating position is even better.
