Tire Changer

[CHILI]

So... Im fuckin tired of using the tire tools and tire spoons changing tires all the time lol. So ive been looking into tire changing machines and what not.

Here is what i think ima get:

Its pretty basic, not to big, and seems easy to use. It mainly just breaks the bead which is usually the biggest pain in the ass when changing tires.




Thoughts? Suggestions? What does everyone else use for changing tires??

I wish I could afford new tires that often.

I saw a thread that had this sweet way to change a tire. I can't find it but I'll explain.
You get 8 small ratchet straps or any kind of strap that will lock. Break the bead and place the straps evenly around the tire. It will basically just slip onto the rim. Sounds great for some nice rims you don't want to ding up.

I have not tried it because I have access to a tire machine. But if I powder coat my rims I may just do it that way

I have used a spare bike and the kick stand to break the bead and spoons before..

also ran it over with the truck...
