Default Tire Changing Machine

TIRE CHANGER: $895.00

$995 local pick up in Fort Worth TEXAS.

Any drifters out there have their own?

This is gonna be my next purchase! I cant stand driving/hauling tires to the tire shop and getting poked in the eyes for mounting and dismounting charges......luckily the local auto shop lets me dispose of tires in their bin for no charge...

With drifting i have too many tires/wheels - https://my350z.com/forum/drift/355396-tire-storage-tire-rack.html

All I can say is with that type of changer you will work your **** off putting a low profile tire on. What are you going to do for balancer?

I dont balance drifting wheels and tires....

But ill probably just buy a static bubble balancer online...fairly cheap and they dont take up much room.

I typically only install 245/45/17 or 18 inch tires. and once in a while ill switch out my 275/45/17 autoX tires. So install isnt that hard as say a low profile tire.

You only need 145 psi. so thats not bad!
