Home tyre fitting tools - any good?

[Mad Dave]

Hi Guys,

Ive seen in catalogues such as Demon Tweeks, a home/workshop tyre fitting machine. It basically bolts to the floor and works in a similar fashion to the ones seen in garages, though I don't think it's motorised.

Has anyone here used one? Was it any good?

Dave,

Did you get any further into this? Just been quoted £210 for tyres I can get off the net for £167

and £255 for pilot power !

try furlongs in yeovil Dave , very good on tyre prices and only charges about £10 to remove and replace yer wheels as well so you aint got to mess with them

If you're a track day animal, this might be worh looking into. If not stick with the tyre specialists and search for a good price.

Most bike shops I know'll fit your tyre for about a fiver, machines got to be cheap (or you use alot tyres) to justify buying one.
