Spent the morning making some blocks and getting my HF tire changer ready to use. I've owned it for 3 months, but haven't needed it yet.

Down to the last bit of tread on my rear. Ordered the new tire and was going to put it on before I leave for Rocky SToc.

But looks like I'm paying someone to change my tire.

If you buy the changer, be sure to look at the welds right away. These aren't welds, more like solder joints.

See what mounting car tires does to you!

Mine did the same thing some time ago. Welded it all the way around and its been good ever since.
