Anybody have or have access to a tire machine? I have nine to dismount and seven to mount. I can do the work, just need the machine!
Thanks!

I've been looking for one just haven't come across the right deal yet.
Yeah, there was a rim clamp machine that popped up on Craigslist for $400 (needed some repair) but it disappeared pretty dang quick.

To dismount 9 tires and mount and balance 7? I think you and I have different opinions on what is "not too much". Lol. Most tire shops charge $15 to $25 to mount and balance one tire.

My son took 6 wheels to swap around tires to a little hole in the wall in Longview last week. Cost him $65 for all 6.
Nice. What's the name of that shop?

It's all about finding the right shop. Have been quoted $20 each at Jimmy Brown's in Tyler. Of course they can't thread a oil filter on without cross threading it, so they're not getting my business. Have been using Tire Barn in Tyler, I'll call them and ask, got a few I need to have mounted up as well.
There was a fairly built TJ that belonged to a guy that worked at Discount Tire on S. Broadway before they moved. He was never interested in the group, even though I left a few cards for him.
98 XJ 4.5" lift on 33s. bumper w/ 10K winch, lights
locked front and rear
cowl intake, CB and a lot of skinny pedal
$20 each is about the going rate. I'm really not trying to spend a couple hundo on mounting and balancing. I'll check out Tire Barn. There's a little shop on 155 that I may stop and talk to, as well.
Don't know if it's worth me asking about, but my father in law has a tire machine & balancer in his shop that hasn't been touched as long as I've been in the picture (I'm sure he'd sell)... If anyone may be interested I can see what he wants for them & get specifics...
If i had someplace to keep them & had the funds I'd buy them but sadly I have neither
Wasnt able to talk to my FIL but did run out & get a few pictures. If they may be something youd wanna know more about I'll holler at him tomorrow (hopefully).
would be cool to have access to it! I'll throw in some $$. ZacT can we keep them in your shop? LOL
Wouldn't do ya much good in that shop.. It's more of a "storage collect all" with no power running to it. Plus, if I had a place to put it AND be able to put to use (ok, and the money), I'd buy it to keep for use on the farm if nothing else.. Sadly I have none of the above to make it happen

Ever got that machine? Looks like it can conditioned.
