The Hunter Auto34R™ Tire Changer: Detailed operations video

[@ikesquirrel]

I worked at a tire shop and a guy brought in some super low pro tires. The manager told us to do them, even though our policy said not to. We finally got them mounted, but the beads would not seat. The manager got involved in the work at that point and the pressure went to 80 psi. Still no change. Lube didn't matter. The manager then asked us to leave the work area and took the pressure to 100 psi, mounted the wheels, then bounced the car on the ground with the lift. The tires finally seated at 110 psi. Crazy.

Used on of these before at the Toyota dealer I used to work at. And a Coats 9028E Tire Changer. This machine works ok. The Coats was my favorite though, the 3rd arm makes more complicated tires easier for me. My grip is the foot pedal is inverse of what the Coats is for the table spinning direction. 1st tire I did on this machine I spun the tire the wrong way and the bead chomped on a Tire sensor.

I’m personally not a fan of this machine. Give me an old school table top rim clamp and I’ll mount tires all day long.

I had a lot of difficulty with a 15 inch wheel on my personal Honda. The bottom roller kept popping off when I was trying to dismount the bottom bead. I ended up putting a hole in my tire. That’s never happened to me before with any other tire machine. Very frustrating

I wish they showed how to mount low profile tires 🙄

[@glennoidgeebee2121]

the last demonstration was a very low profile tire? what's low is low to you?

[@Nothereneverwas69]

This is like buying a Ferrari when you really just need a daily driver , neat machine , but I'll stick to a rim clamp with a single power assist , this really overcomplicating things afaic
