Tire / Balance Machine

[rromasko]

Can anyone recommend a good tire machine?

Needs to do automotice wheels and motorcycle wheels, low pro and larger rim wheels. I would prefer new but will consider a solid machine if available used. Needs to be 100% reliable.

It doesn't need to have all the bells and whistles but needs to get the job more than just barely done.

Hunter is good, but to do all that you want, you will spend $$$$ on the unit and the needed adapters.

What do you consider "larger" wheels, as some of those (greater than 19") we do with spoons because the adapters will scar or scratch coatings. Same with most motorcycle wheels..

We use a hunter tcs3250 which handles 99% of most tires up to 24 easily

But for ultra low profile wheels you need much bigger machine

Balancer is a dp9500 simple and very accurate

Keep in mind even used will be a few thousand either way you look at it
