Any recommendations or your favorite big box store brands for air compressors?

The 21 gallon I have now runs out of breath very quickly when using the bead breaker on the tire machine. I also have a 240VAC installed for my Hunter Balancer that I also have in the garage.

That part I do know about luckily, and is the reason why I’ve been looking at used units on Marketplace. I do see a few Champions on there as well.

Hey all. I’m looking to move on from my little 21 gallon McGraw compressor, and move up to a 60 gallon. I use it mainly to do some at-home paint jobs (small panels), and also for my Mayflower 980 tire machine. I’ve done research over the last month and have learned that the top brands are...

Any recommendations on an upgraded duck head for the Mayflower 980? Same as Ranger

I bought just 2 Coats cones that work on my vehicles for now only because I am going to buy the finger plate/collet set from MT-RSR. That is the most precise way of balancing from what I’ve learned.

I’m glad you asked this question! I connected a magnetic base dial indicator to the balancer where it can reach the cone and spun the machine with just the cone and wing nut itself. The China cones were almost 0.005” thou off on every spin. The Coats brand cones didn’t even move the dial...

I love Nitto tires. They behave so well and last a long time. If I had 16’s instead of 16.5’s I would got with Nitto Mud Grapplers

Have had them on for about 5000 miles now and they’re great. Throughout this thread people read Interco and assumed they’re “Super Swampers”. I don’t know how many times I said that they’re TRXUS M/T tires that are RADIAL and not BIAS PLY like Super Swampers are.

I just realized that I forgot to update this thread. I ended up buying Coats brand cones and was able to static balance all 4 Interco tires to a zero balance.

You da man

Forgot to ask, the pins in the kit… are they good for only conical style lug nuts? I have a few Ford wheels that have the flat seat washer

Thanks Noid!

Thanks for the tip!! Are you by chance running those exact plates as well?

I do not have those pin plates but have heard that they’re the most precise vs cones and collets
