Been there, done that! Mounted a set of four Michelin tarmacs and 6 Michelin gravel tires about 10 years ago on my manual 'Roger Kraus Racing' tire mounter. Not fun however.... Lube, lots of lube.... |

I like Murphy's Oil Soap.
regular passenger-car snows aren't too hard, sometimes you can get the bottom bead on without even having to use a tool. just push/twist, done. Never had the chance to mount an actual rally tire yet, but when I do my autoX/HPDE tires (205/50-15 Hoosiers, 225/50-14 hoosiers and hankooks, 255/40-13 Hoosiers, and some 22.0x7.0x13 goodyear SRF slicks,) I am SUPER SUPER SUPER glad that I hunted for a couple years and finally bought a tire machine. Those darned low-profile fookers are hard to do even with a Hunter TC3500. The twisting/bending/muscling required to use the manual changer (bolted to the garage floor using 3 out of the four bolt holes) on eight tires (swapping winterforce snows for all-seasons, so I could go to a rallyX with the snows) is responsible for putting my back over the edge and doing the final damage to my L3-L4 and L4-L5 discs, which were severely crimped in that process. 
Thinking about it, I paid more for my mounter and balancer than I did for most of my cars. lol! --sarge ---** To be in compliance with the Anarchy **--- Jorden R. Kleier Baraboo, Wisconsin, USA 1990 Mazdog Protege 4WD 1973 |
