  • Efficiency is key. Haveing to drive a total of two hours to get new tires on our cars to resell is not good. So I bought this tire machine on Amazon. This is the XK USA (also know as the mayflower). Do you think I made a good purchase?

    You can’t keep adding weights… it’s called counterbalance. But Tire will be bouncing all over the place now. If you place the way, it’s the first time, then respin it shows more weights. You have to pull the weights back off and redo it again.

    Sometimes I wonder how this guy stays in business.

    Definitely needs a shield to cover the rotating portion. Somebody gets to close, loose clothing, God forbid hair, or trips and falls into that is serious bad news.

  • @KeithJenkinsvideos

    You can tell if it is balanced if you put wheel back on, and balancer say 0 again

  • @DChamp56

    Um, where's the safety shield on the balancer that everyone else has/uses?? I'd hate to see a weight fly off and severely injure someone!

  • @allamerican7830

    I bought these in 2018 for 1,520.00. Definitely worth it I’ve done many tires and flat repairs for myself and friends and they have worked flawlessly.

  • @tntzimmerman9552

    You should’ve put the balancer to the left in the corner and the tire machine in the middle. One day you’ll fight a tire and wish you had more room around it.

    people say all the old ones are rusted out in the bottom and they wish they sprayed oil on stuff at the bottom so in 20 yrs it isnt rusted out

    Uber? Really?

    I used to work for a small tire store, if it helps we used to get our wheel weights directly from the tire distributor, we used American Tire Distributors.

    For the balancing machine, you need to have one steely reserved as the “calibrated” wheel to ensure that the balancer stays calibrated and you recalibrate it to the one wheel every time. Also you should have at least three different sets of wheel weights for all the different verity of wheels out there. You should should try your best to get all the weight in one spot on both sides. If it tells you to add weight in one spot and then on the rerun add more weight in another spot. Typically if you shoot for the middle of that and add the difference between the two weights you’ll hit the sweet spot and it’ll come out 0 with just one weight on one side. Do the same for the opposite side and your in business. The downside is that you’ll have to do multiple runs and math, lol. I also recommend keeping two tire weight tools for they come in handy.

  • @chomas8784

    Take a tire that you know is perfectly balanced from another place and put it on to see if your machine see's it that way also.

  • @billmcvoy4872

    Mike check the box, should be a shield that covers the tire as it spins.

  • @donaldgavigan9376

    The weight is for calibration of the machine. Keep that weight.

  • @NatesHomeTours

    If you havent found wheel weights yet, you can gt them at Oreilly Ayto Parts. In any weight you will need. Comes in a box. I forget how much is in each box. I used to sell them to a mom and pop tire shop in the town I live in when I worked at Oreilly.

  • @robdusher357

    You can go one of 2 ways. Order all the different styles of hammer on weights in all the possible increments and buy the sticky weights for rim styles that you don't use hammer weights OR just use sticky weights for everything.

  • @leeellisfabs

    I have the Mayflower cheap equipment and have used them for years with no issues!

  • @HondaDriver2023

    American tire distributors. You will need 0.25-5.00 weights the smaller weights are more needed but you want those sizes. Also stick on weights for the inside of the rims on fancy rims.

  • @TreeFeller4Life

    Nope. That isn’t even that much weight Smfh 1.25 that machine needs to be COMPLETELY STABLE NOT MOVING AT ALL TO BALANCE PROPERLY. You are smart enough to know this man.
