I've used one of these for years and hated it at first. But I put one of those duck head attachments on and it works quite good now. It won't scratch the paint either.I use regular tire soap and that helps a lot especially with heavy beads. Those heavy tires are a bear though. I also have mine bolted with concrete anchors in the middle of the shop floor and take it out when I'm not using it.
I think this would work with modifications, as you said, but I wanted to see what the average HF purchaser would have to deal with if they just bought it and tried to use it.
A couple of things I noticed. First you don't pay enough attention to where the tire bead is opposite of where you trying to get the bead over the rim. Heavy walled tires do not want to slide into the drop center easily. Second your trying to mount this tire cold. Leaving a tire out in the sun for a few hours makes mounting the tire a lot easier. I mounted my tire changer on a 4 x4 pallet of 2x4's sandwiched between two pieces of plywood. When not in use I slide my hand cart underneath it and move it out of the way. Hope that helps you but the impression I got was you wanted to find a way to make this tool look worse than it really is.
I’ve done 37 inch tires on a 17 inch wheel, load range F. It wasn’t too hard, I gotta say you mounted the tire changer in one of the worst spots. I have mine in the center of my garage and being able to work all around the tire makes it much easier than how you are working up against a wall.
Have a rubber mallet available. Our neighborhood body shop used GoJo hand soap for a lubricant. They gave a bargin on my winter tires if I dis-mounted and mounted them. Their Coates changer center post diameter was larger than my 1965 2 + 2 styled steel wheels for the Pony medallion covers causing me to get my first rim between the beads of the Town and Country snow tire atop a flattened empty windshield carton, 2 spoons and rubber mallet! Their spoons were about 18" long permitting angular attacking if needed. Your sidewalls were very stiff, keep the unit, modify the components as needed.
@@QuickSpeedShop The Coates changer had an arc shaped bead breaker that slipped over the center post. Gave strong down pressure by the jionted handle as you rotated around. Could be constructed from a 90° section of a larger commercial scrap rim from salvaging the angular components. Perhaps add 3 angled gussets to the to form a centering cone on the top nut? You have the anchor bolts present.
The mounting end of the tire bar has a steep learning curve. It does scratch the rims. Need a duck head mod if you want to save your rims. Ive done dozens of tires on one of these. WAY faster than dealing with any tire shop ONCE you’re past the learning curve. Also you’re mounted WAY too close to the wall. Take it outside and bolt it to the drive way or patio. You need to be able to walk all the way around it.
You really put the work in. I think that the "E" rated tire was just not for this machine. Get some H F 21" tire irons, this machine will work on regular rated "H' , "V" etc. passenger tires. I been down this road, I was blown away by a teenage who mounted my tires (185x 65 -13) on my after market aluminum 13x7 rims by hand, on the ground, using two small spoons and a rubber mallet. No fuss, no sweat, no stress, just skill and patience. Thanks for the show!
I find that if I am doing stuff basic stuff on level ground or at least semi flat IE no triping hazards , the task at hand is not "That" hard maybe a lil more elbow room and clear the floor ? just a thought.
I had the same one, i did use it for awhile and then gave it away, you can still find the old coats manual tire changers for about $100, in my teens i changed hundreds if not thousands of tires on one and used a bubble balancer, I would want it out where you can walk all the way around.
@@garagekeys What would you do differently ? I know newbie mechanics struggle like a beyach... I would give newbs advice how to work smarter not harder. Im not knowledgable in tire changing though.
@@kendalgee5808 I use a ratchet strap to hold the bead down on one side, really makes it so much easier for me. Without that I have to fight the bead and put my knee on the tire to push it down
You did alright, you needed to make sure the bead of the tire stays in the low spot of the rim, Use some narrow PVC or similar, heat it with a torch and it'll shrink down like heatshrink tubing over the tire iron in case it rubs on the rim. And yes, those bigass plies are stiff tires
When mounting my Jeep tires I soap them up put the wheel on a piece of carpet put them on without the machine and stomp them on. I only use this tool to remove tires from the bead.🛠
I've had the same HF tire changer for close to 15 years I also have the motorcycle adapter for it for the money you can't beat it granted the application and the tools you use with it First off the mount dismount bar is junk I bought a Mojo lever mount dismount bar it has plastic on the contact surfaces so it won't scratch your rims Second it's pretty much made for car tires and light truck tires I know when I have my BF Goodrich ATs mounted even on a commercial tire machine they have to persuade it a little sometimes because the sidewalls are heavier I think if you had the right mounting bar it wouldn't have possibly been that hard to mount your tires also they sell modification kits for the HF tire changer and I've seen people have great success with those hey that just my two cents
That's the consensus, the machine isn't bad...unless you modify it, buy a bunch of different tools, say Beetlejuice three times, wear a green sweater and have your AM radio tuned to 1040 on a Tuesday...then it works great. I was just saying, in my video, that if you buy the tool and expect to use it straight out of the box then you will be disappointed. If I didn't have tire spoons and vice grips I would never have gotten the tire on the rim.
You are supposed to mount it in the middle of the room so you can get all the way around and work on it easier. You had a super struggle because of user error putting it near the wall.
I hated mine as well. I gave it away when I inherited my grandfather's 50 year old manual tire changer. Same concept but it works better. I had the same issues you did with the Pittsburgh. There are some modifications out there people have done to make them work better I just never bothered when I got the other one
It can work but the install / removal bar should only be used for bead breaking. I never got it to work for an install on any wheel... so yes, it is what the average guy has to struggle thru. Here's what I do ruclips.net/video/WgjNO2gt3xg/видео.html Fortunately, if you can do basic woodworking, it can be cheaply fixed. It includes balancing as well. The HF bubble balancer didn't work for me... a $90 boat anchor... beware.
So, you buy an open box item that someone else has already beat to crap, then don't follow the instructions that explain that it needs to be mounted in a place where you can go alway around it, and then complain that it took way too long so it must be junk. We've used one of these for years on the farm to change everything from lawn tractor tires to farm equipment tires without any major problems. We did add a plate to the back side of the bead breaker to beef it up a little.... Ya just have to be smarter than a tire tool....and RTFM.
Once again... you like everyone else says, "It works great, except we modified it to work, we have an older model, etc." I'm sure you probably also have additional tire spoons and vice grips to help with tire installs. The point of my video was that if the average person buys this thing and tries to use it WITHOUT modifying it or using extra spoons and other tool is that it is a light duty piece of garbage that is about useless. I stand by that. I have continued to struggle with it and cannot use it without my spoons, vice grips, bead breaker slide hammer to change tires very effectively.
@@QuickSpeedShop the only modification we made is the small plate on the bead breaker....and that was done 3-4 years after we started using it. As for "extra tools', I use a single 24' tire spoon and one of those plastic do-hickies that holds the bead down as you start around the tire....other than lube, that's it. You can make all the excuses you want, it ain't t the tool....it's the user, plain and simple. If that's not the plain and honest truth, explain all the others on YT using these things without issue. You don't get to buy a severely abused POS return item, then "go your own way" without even barely following the instructions, then start whining like a slighted school girl without being called out on it.....that just part of posting videos on YT.
You proved my point, tire spoon and bead holders. It doesn't come from HF with that stuff, damaged or not! I doubt you even watched more than a few seconds of the video before you commented anyway, but I started with the tools provided in the box, just as I bought it. When I finally gave up on the poorly cast bar included in the box, I had to use spoons and a vice grip, just like you use a spoon and bead holders. Maybe your bar is cast better than this one, I don't know. Point is, without extra tools, it's very hard to mount a tire with what is provided. I like the fact that you take the time to comment on tools you already own and use when my review has nothing to do with you or your shop. And then you result to insults, which I enjoy seeing people get so butthurt over stupid crap that doesn't even affect them. I hope you mount another 1000 tires with your machine, good for you.
@@QuickSpeedShop first, I always watch videos to the end before commenting, to do otherwise would be arrogant and irresponsible. Second, I'm not "butthurt" in the least....I DGAF about your opinions regarding any particular subject in general. You say that it has "nothing to do with me or my shop" and I suppose in some sense that's correct....but it does concern a tool I've been using for years. Anyone who's used a MANUAL tire machine before knows that at least one tire spoon is required to get the process started...and that the bead holder is NOT required but a small convenience. That you had an issue with the tool and dislike it is not what brought about my comments....it's the way you went about arriving at your "since I can't make it work it's a POS" attitude and final evaluation. Had you stated at the beginning "I bought this returned well abused tool, didn't follow the directions, and couldn't make it work properly" I wouldn't have commented at all. But you didn't, you dismissed the tool entirely as junk based on your experience with the one beat up POS you bought cheap. But whatever, if you're going to "get butthurt" over a random stranger calling you out on your BS, maybe you should disable comments.....
Well, thanks for watching the whole video. I appreciate that. I guess I just don't know why you would even waste your time writing comments about something you don't like. If I watch a video and disagree with it, I just stop watching it. Why would I waste my time telling someone they suck, when I could just turn it off? The only reason I respond is that with YT, if you're going to waste your time calling me out over some piece of shit Chinese tool, I might as well respond and waste more time arguing over literally the stupidest thing in the world. You love your tool and it works for you, great. I hate this tool and it doesn't work for me, great. I suggest you buy a camera, editing software and make your own video about how this tool is the best thing since sliced bread, then my poor review will be canceled out.
There are guys, that can put a tire on, only with a shovel! You used the tire spoon, the wrong way, hooked side should be on the inside of the rim!! I can do a tire, in 5 to 10 minutes, just, using tire spoons, and not mess up the rim. Skill, is doing with even harder side walls.
The whole point of the video is that the actual machine is a light duty piece of garbage. The fact that you and everyone else says, "With tire spoons, vice grips, other tools, etc," it works fine just proves my point. If I didn't have 2 tire spoons I would not have been able to mount that tire with the actual machine without scratching the crap out of the rim and fighting it the entire time.
@@QuickSpeedShop it's not, that it's a crap machine, but you have a learning curve, on how to use it. If you're new to using something, it takes time to use it right. All of the ones, in tire shop's are ran by air, and make it look so easy, ask your buddy, how long it took him, to learn on it. It's just like welding, at first you suck, but the more you do it the better, you get at it. It, looks there is a part of the machine, is missing.
@@QuickSpeedShop it's not crap it does a good job if you learn to use the tool properly, makes changing tires quite easy actually it's actually worth the money just for the bead breaking portion of it , I've had mine for over 10 years .. one small advice is to place it so you are able to walk around it
Sorry man i giggled my A off watching you chase that tire around in circles. Always use a tire spoon and that crap off a bar that came with it, you need to always work with two going in opposition. That tool you used, the angled ridge side is for mounting, use plenty of dawn dish soap and a couple of c clamps to hold that tire into the well, it will make it much easier for you. You can rubber coat or use undercoat on the tips to avoid scratching. Oh and make sure to place the yellow dot in line with the valve stem, if there's a red and yellow dot, use the red dot to line up with the stem. Red always takes precedence. When bubble balancing use a V method when using your stick on weights centered on the underside of the rim. You'll get a perfectly balanced tire everytime. 👍
That is not the tire machine to be used with truck tires, and the machine should not be against a wall. Common sense stuff. It works great with car tires.
Do you know what you're doing? First you should start your tire mounting on the floor, press the tire on the wheel and put your weight on it, and the bottom lip is in, then you place it on the tire changer. The tire changer can't be that close to the wall. You are supposed to walk around it while pressing the top lip of the tire.
I have never mounted tires by starting with the tire on the floor with a manual machine or power machine. As far as not being able to go all around, hitting the wall wasn't the problem. The bar popping off and generally being useless was. I have tried several more times to mount tires with this thing and it's still a struggle. It's a cheap piece of garbage and without tire spoons and other mods you can't really use it successfully.
@@QuickSpeedShop you can see on the video you are pushing down the tire on the bead only with arm strength while elevated and you are struggling. If it was on the ground you could leverage your entire weight on it. I can mount that tire with that changer in about 5m.
Good for you. I've had nothing but problems with this one. I made a video about my experience and I have continued to have problems. Telling me that you have no problems with yours has no bearing on this one. Why would you waste your time even watching a video and then commenting on a video if you like yours? I buy lots of tools that I like and use everyday. I don't watch videos about those tools after I own them. Why would I? In my experience, this is a cheap piece of garbage that I thought I might be able to use with my tire spoons and such. Basically all it's good for is holding a rim. The bead breaker sucks, the tire bar sucks.
That’s not good with bigger tires it does not like them. 👎 just plain tires that’s all it’s good for unless you want to go through what you just did, even if somebody gets good at it them bigger tires are next to impossible.
If you had the one with the space or gap in the handle that goes over the post the same way except it’s flat not round,,, if you go fast enough it goes right on but ya still have to horse it.

I have never mounted tires by starting with the tire on the floor with a manual machine or power machine. As far as not being able to go all around, hitting the wall wasn't the problem. The bar popping off and generally being useless was. I have tried several more times to mount tires with this thing and it's still a struggle. It's a cheap piece of garbage and without tire spoons and other mods you can't really use it successfully.
@@QuickSpeedShop you can see on the video you are pushing down the tire on the bead only with arm strength while elevated and you are struggling. If it was on the ground you could leverage your entire weight on it.
I can mount that tire with that changer in about 5m.
Good for you. I've had nothing but problems with this one. I made a video about my experience and I have continued to have problems. Telling me that you have no problems with yours has no bearing on this one. Why would you waste your time even watching a video and then commenting on a video if you like yours? I buy lots of tools that I like and use everyday. I don't watch videos about those tools after I own them. Why would I? In my experience, this is a cheap piece of garbage that I thought I might be able to use with my tire spoons and such. Basically all it's good for is holding a rim. The bead breaker sucks, the tire bar sucks.
That’s not good with bigger tires it does not like them. 👎 just plain tires that’s all it’s good for unless you want to go through what you just did, even if somebody gets good at it them bigger tires are next to impossible.
If you had the one with the space or gap in the handle that goes over the post the same way except it’s flat not round,,, if you go fast enough it goes right on but ya still have to horse it.
Again someone without expirience.....no room to do the job....no lubrication....and than is the tyre changer the problem...😢😢
Again, someone who doesn't read the description, watch the whole video, or read any of the comments.
That thing is as useless as your trucks bed!!😂😂😂😢
