Tire Changer

[Skyking1992]

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a used tire changer. I haven't done a lot of research yet, but I've been looking on ebay and craigs list. Any recommendations? Should I stick with a known brand like Coats or are the no names brands any good. I see that Coats makes both electric and air driven turn tables - any advantage to one or the other?

I change 17" tires on aluminum rims several times a year (sticky tires for autocrossing). I do not have any run flat tires, but I suppose that is what every car will have some time in the future.

Thanks for all your help.

I don't know if you guys get Sice machines over there. They're Italian and are very good machines.

Bit of practice, and a little help from someone who's done it before and you can put on 20" runflats on a fairly basic machine. i used to do it every day.
