tyres

Hi
I used to do it the old fashion way
get someone to stand on the wheel & run over the edge with my transit van.
works most of the time.

I got fed up with the local tyre places charging £10 to change a tyre then £5 to balance it, plus vat, that I've bought my own tyre machine and balancer. I've used those cheapy manual changers and they aren't up to much. A bit flimsy but better than dancing round the rim whacking tyre levers!

I agree. I purchased a cheap Sealey one and ended up popping a couple of ribs breaking the bead on a set of Pepperpot.. Also with in a year the poxy bead-breaker snapped off so I'm looking out for a tyre machine either air or electric.
Depends upon what you want it for mate.

hi

just had a puncture and the cost was about £15 and i thought it was an easy £15. i have done the old fashion way with series 3 wheel but not being that rough with alloys. so just thought i might get a machine or post.

cheers

I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

but this jacket makes it impossible.
