no mar tire machine

[Dogbone]

since no one in my crappy town will change my 300, i just ordered me this to DIY my own tires,

 

[Hirter6Pack]

Ya gotta have tools

 

[KaptinAmerika]

It'll be interesting to see how well it works for a 300

 

[Mr. Wright]

You will need the clamps that hold the bead away from the rim, to get it on the machine. I haven't done a 300 yet with my machine, but the 250 isn't to bad. The first one I did, I had to cut the tire all the way around the center, to get it on the machine.

did get the bead lockers with the machine. i know Nukeranger did his 330 so should be a breeze

I just did the same thing brother...will be nice to be able to change tires at home

 

[Nukeranger]

Yep, I've done my 330 a couple of times and used it to change my 305 tires on my truck many times.

Lubrication and practice makes it very easy. There are Youtube videos from No Mar that are good also.

I have changed both my tires twice using motorcycle tire irons and rim savers. Not that hard to do by hand.

I used to change car tires in the apartment complex with just tire irons and used the weight of the car to break the beads. So, I've been evolving over the last 40 years.

How about those Corvette Run Flat Tires? Ever try changing those? I tried once.

LOL, never done Car run flats but I just had to do a front motorcycle run flat tire.
It was fun with the machine I definitely would not have wanted to do it by hand.

I didn't know they even made such a thing for bikes?

Neither did I but that's all this thing could have been because the rubber was really thick.

 

[badyellowvette]

I got rid of the stock run-flats as soon as possible.

 

[Dogbone]

well got my front tire done. was pretty easy. doing the back tire tomorrow.

 

[41bigdawg]

Awesome brother...did you have to use the posi-clamps instead of the dog blocks?

I cant wait to see your pics of the rear tire. My New No-Mar is sitting in my garage waiting for me to get home.

 

[Dogbone]

used both. once i got the bead broke loose, i changed to posi locks. cleaned up where the tire bead would seat cause there was lots of gunk.
