mix some washing up liquid with water in a spray bottle and when you break the bead, spray around the rim of the tyre and the inside of the wheel. then get yourself some tyre bead clamps of bay to keep the bead down in the groove and to allow you to lever over the ducks head. tyres with a tall side wall are easier as once the bead is broken, is tends to sit on the groove of the rim and allows you to lever. high performance low profile tyres have stiff sidewalls that tend to keep the bead out.
I’ve had a tire machine for YEARS and never had the courage to do low pros until I watched your video and now it’s like I’ve been doing it for years! Thank you so much for your expertise and step by step easy-to-follow instructiond
Glad i could help! I made so many mistakes and ruined wheels/tires to get to the point where I am now. This kind of feedback really makes me feel like it was all worth it! Thank you!
Post-covid tire shop prices and scheduling have me seriously considering picking up the tire machine and balancer combo. Even at $2k full price for mayflower, I only need to do 10-20 sets to break even. Not to mention doing them at 2am if I want, and not caring where I buy my tires from. Your vids have given me a great deal of confidence that it would be a good investment. And this vid specifically has given me a great deal of confidence that I should probably get the assist arm. 😂 I'm getting too old to be brute forcing like that, and my primary usage will be stiff sidewall track tires.
First off, absolutely appreciate the feedback, definitely motivates me to continue doing these kinda videos. And yes once you get a hang of it, the tire mounting/balancing process becomes a breeze. The only reason I didn’t opt for the helper arm option was because i wanted maximum tire size capabilities but since you’re doing mostly stiff wall stuff, definitely go that route!
Without a helper arm on the machine, tire lube and tire spoons are your best friend, and you only learn by getting hands on. You have the drive just keep it going
Great video! Very informative for people that haven’t used a tire machine to know all that’s involved... thanks for showing a step by step process!!! Low pros can be a pain! This video helps understand the beat way to get ‘em mounted!🤘😎
Appreciate it man! Yeah i struggled trying to find good info on mounting tires when I first got this machine but through trial and error as well as suggestions from friends and commenters on here, I’ve been able to pickup on good techniques/methods.
This video came in clutch with the two tire irons when I was mounting low profiles. Was about to give up after hours of struggling until i saw this video and had almost instant success. Thanks dude!
I actually don’t know what you are referring to. Kind of curious now, can you elaborate more as to what you are talking about? Is this the oil that’s in the small reservoir where the air connects to the machine? Like the air tool oil?
Yes! You most definitely want to have an in-line oiler/regulator. That’s the main reason I got my machine on discount! No oil blew apart the bead breaker! Usually 2-3 drops per 5-6 pedal pumps of the bead breaker is general rule of thumb. But I would go off manufacturer’s instructions
That's a rough job. I purchased the assist arm to help with this type of wheel but I think it'd also help to have a bead clamp. I'm going to order one for my setup just for the convenience.
I tried using one of those bead clamps off amazon but it was a PITA to install on certain style wheels and kept popping off. My problem was that I was too lazy to apply a sufficient amount of lubricant. It looks hard but it really isn’t that bad once you have a technique down. And no wheels were damaged in this video.
I put the rim on the balancer first to find the heaviest point then put the yellow dot there. It hardly ever corresponds with the valve stem. I have even found the dot machine off by 25degrees on all four same set but usually dots are close to where they should be. I match balance my own cars. Corghi 5000 touchless machine best purchase ever. You did well with that mayflower tho.
I’ll do that whenever i have a wheel/tire combo that’s calling for a bit more weight than I anticipated, definitely does help, just a little time consuming with a less fancy machine. Those Corghi’s are a beast of a unit!
@@AnthonyKulhanek94 are you sure the tire diameter is the right size for that wheel first? At the 17:28, you really need to bring that side wall down towards the center of the wheel opposite of the duck bill to give you as much slack as possible while it’s spinning around
@MJAltairy yeah they are 18s low profile and I tried to put the original tire on and it did the same thing. Now I'm driving on a spair till I figure something out
See if you can spray something into the bead before taking the tire off. Taking it off dry is very difficult. I've got a bead press arm on my similar machine and it lets you spin the assembly with the tire pressed down a little to get some lube on the bead before taking it off. Then it slides down into the drop very easily when you put the bar on the duckbill and lift it over. Without the assist arm, spraying WD-40 or something should help if the bead is already broken.
I did a low profile all day today as practice and I think using lube would’ve helped 😅. I did it a few times without terrible ripping it, but I definitely teared that thing apart after 30 or so dismounts
Nice job! Wy Weds Kranze 6.5” barrel is super big with no lip but is completely flat 19” has to be reversed mounted. A lot of skill is required to get the tire on
When u said you were "Breathing hard, I'm getting a work out." I almost died. 😆 I work at a tire shop and we have 3 machines. We do on average 90 cars a day. That averages 120 tires per guy per machine. But onto of that I have to take all the wheels off the cars, half time fighting stuck / swollen lugs, go get new tires, change them, balance them, dispose old tires, mount and tourqe back on vehicle. This includes everything from low-pro to 37in mud tires. And we get 5 deliverys a day of new tires we unload and have yo physically throw up to the second story of our shop /loft and stack for storage.. yes I understand you don't do this all the time. I'm not trying to be mean or pick. I just got a chuckle when u said that. Not picking fun. Was just thinking man you would be whooped if u worked at our shop.
@@MJAltairy 👍 I will admit, my first day after my first complete set I was exhausted. I felt complete for the day and ready to go home by 830 🤣 Good video. Best of luck. 👍
I know this is a year old now, but you need to put oil in your system! Just to the left of your moisture filter is where you need to put in jack oil/hydraulic fluid/ATF. This will keep your machine from failing on you. Also, nice job, low profile tires are a PITA.
Thank you! Actually someone brought this up earlier in another video and glad they brought this to my attention because i was getting near low on the machine!
I see the tires that were on the wheels were 35s. So did you put 35s back on or were they a little bigger? It’s hard telling in the video lol. But I usually run 35s or 40s and have been thinking about getting one of these machines since I change tires twice a year and get impatient waiting for a garage that’ll get me in. Most won’t even do them for me because I run a little stretch (usually 215s on 9 wides so nothing too crazy). They’re scared something will happen. I just did 205/35s on nine wides (to see how I like that setup) by hand and although it wasn’t too bad, a machine definitely would have been much nicer 😂.
Wow. Talk about doing it the hard way. No lube or drop center assistance tools prior to attempting dismount? With as many tires as you’ve done. I have a redline ma Manual changer and I have the drop center tools???? Wth make your work easier. To your credit, good explanations. Ty
I’ve used those drop center tools and didn’t find them helpful with certain style wheels or with a very tight/hard sidewall. And i do use tire lubricant especially for mounting. I usually spray a soapy solution when dismounting a hard tire, i just couldn’t find my spray bottle when i was recording this video. It isn’t absolutely necessary but it helps
There are some cheap plastic tire/rim clamps on amazon that will make your life allot easier and avoid scratchers from your tire irons, they will hold that bead down in the rim valley for you, or get a machine with the extra assist arms they do the same as the rim/tire clamps.. Only other thing I spotted that you missed was a soapy water spray or tire lube of the "top" bead after breaking them, helps remove the tire easier. Your machine was struggling to grasp the wheel.. a soapy water spray of that top bead would have fixed that,. Ask any woman, dry rubber is never good... Cheers! & thanks for making the video, you explained allot of the little details most over look, like avoiding TPMS and the yellow dot on the tire being the lightest point and should be aligned with the valve stem. Red dots are the flattest part of the tire.. if your wheels have marks for this it may be of use, but most dont unless new.
Assalamu Alaikum how are you brother brother I am also a mechanic like you I work in tire shop like you I have last seven years of experience can you tell me which mechanic is needed in your shop I am a Bangladeshi citizen I am 20 years old my name is Mohammad Arif Hossain
I see now why my rims were chipped. When prying off the old tires the little sphere on the end of the duck bill came into contact with the edge of the rim. Tires were 315/35/20. Went to kaltire. I knew it was going to be a mistake going there.
Low profile wheels are a nightmare, SCC automotive seems to have a machine that covers most low profile stuf. I only do my Friends, hence if I score a rim they dont moan?..You are doing well Br'o...
Appreciate the feedback! Really just wanted to show that these style rims/tires are very doable on my “ebay” tire machine/any standard style tire machine for the most part.
Thanks for the video! I've been considering getting a tire machine once I start tracking my car more. This was exactly what I wanted to know! I have 19" rims (tires are 265/35/19) and I've talked to a few tire shops and they didn't want to try as they were worried they'd scratch the wheels up. One thing I noticed was at 10:14 the machine was spinning but the wheel and tire stayed put. Aren't you worried that would scratch the wheel?
Looks bad lol but the jaws grabbing the wheels actually have a thick plastic cover that covers each jaw, wont really scratch it. The only time you should worry about scratching wheels is usually when you’re grabbing the inside of the wheels with the outer part of the jaws. I plan on doing more videos of low profile tires as soon as i get more low pro tires that need to be mounted/dismounted. It actually becomes a breeze to do over time, i promise!
@@dumbeezy5480 no harm were done to these wheels. They would’ve scratched for sure if i had the “outer” side of the jaws clamped from inside the wheel tho
Ive done a few Scatpacks and hellcats with similar size tires. Def a tough tire especially if they’re street high performance tires with the really stiff sidewalls.
Some rims got a sensor. I Almost damaged a customer one. It was kinder damaged. But i didnt went close at the value. The customer was very Angry. That in mind you can get brand new one🤷.
Not to be mean , but you need more time researching tire machine techniques and assistance tools cause your still kinda doing it the harder way. Just a friendly suggestion cause I’ve been there also.
How would you have changed it up? I’m not a tire technician by trade so I don’t necessarily need all the special tools in the books. Purpose of the video is to show that anyone can get by with this Mayflower tire machine without having to buy the fanciest machines out there.
Well I will say that balancer is actually crap especially for low profile tires like these. The tire mounting machine is decent I've seen it work well nothing wrong with it but the balancer... ehh not so much. Put it this way it ain't Hunter Road force balancer that's for sure.
Yea i can agree with ya on that but for the most part, it definitely gets the job done. Whenever i need better balancing, i just drop my car off at my local Costco and they’ll roadforce balance all 4 under 30 bucks.
This guy honestly doesnt know what hes doing. The small diameter part of the rim is called the well. You need to have the whole bead of the tire sitting down in the well before you try to turn the rim.
No way you’re doing that with a stiff sidewall/high performance low profile tire…at least with out a helper arm. You can definitely do that with a soft sidewall passenger/standard tire though.
If those wheels are worth ANYTHING you should 10000000% not be using a rim clamp. You should never take expensive forged wheels to major tire stores ever. I had a $2200 claim against one after they gouged one beyond repair. And OMG totally not the correct equipment at all for reverse drop wheels.
mix some washing up liquid with water in a spray bottle and when you break the bead, spray around the rim of the tyre and the inside of the wheel. then get yourself some tyre bead clamps of bay to keep the bead down in the groove and to allow you to lever over the ducks head. tyres with a tall side wall are easier as once the bead is broken, is tends to sit on the groove of the rim and allows you to lever. high performance low profile tyres have stiff sidewalls that tend to keep the bead out.

The assist arm for the machine makes a world of difference great video
Best video on UA-cam. Had tires mounted last week and they mangled my Wheels. They should have watched this video.

No problem!
Please help me get a job
This video came in clutch with the two tire irons when I was mounting low profiles. Was about to give up after hours of struggling until i saw this video and had almost instant success. Thanks dude!
The machine works better when you put the bead splitter closer to the rim. Instead of where you put it halfway up the sidewall.
Great video, I'm always looking for tips and tricks to give myself an easier time and not ruin tires.
Good video, nice to know that it can be done without assist arms. My machine doesn't have them either. Thanks, good job, gave me some confidence 👏
Did you put a ding in the rim looks kinda fresh would that effect the rim?
Great video. Just bought a tire machine for home use and this was very helpful.
Awesome! You’re going to love not having to deal with tire shops but you’re also going to hate getting people to ask you to do tire jobs for them lol
Good video. I think it would have helped to lube the tire when dismounting so the rubber sidewall can come off easier.
100% True!
Do you have a video on how to add the oil to the mounting machine and to adjust flow to one to two drops per rotation as it says??
I actually don’t know what you are referring to. Kind of curious now, can you elaborate more as to what you are talking about? Is this the oil that’s in the small reservoir where the air connects to the machine? Like the air tool oil?
Yes! You most definitely want to have an in-line oiler/regulator. That’s the main reason I got my machine on discount! No oil blew apart the bead breaker! Usually 2-3 drops per 5-6 pedal pumps of the bead breaker is general rule of thumb. But I would go off manufacturer’s instructions
@@xuenanprince5084 thank you! Happy i found this out before it’s too late!
They have devices that clamp on the wheel to force the bead in the wheel well.
I’ve tried a couple, wasn’t in love with them. Got any ones you’d recommend?

not a bad technique without the assist arm, can you wrap those levers with electrical tape and make it non-maring?
I’ve actually thought about doing that. Not a bad idea
So im guessing you scuffed the front lip of the wheel when the turn plate spun and the wheel stayed stationary?
@@mariom9694 nope. Jaws have a soft plastic/rubber attachment on them so no wheels were hurt here.
@MJAltairy good to know, but the turnplate shouldn't turn if the wheel is in place. What kind of compressor are you using?
I got a rim and I went through 3 tires I spin it and it gets caught on the wheel and rips the inside wall how do I get a really really tight wheel on

Very good video. I've just purchased a tyre machine and I know it's a learning curve to get familiar with how to remove and fit tyres.
What's the biggest rim you can take on the machine

🤣🤣 I’m pretty sure we’ve all done this; some won’t admit it though. I know I did more than I care to mention 🤣
You can also spray some soapy water where the bead is stuck on the duckhead so it glides much smoother if it doesn’t come off easy
what size where the tires????
How do tell if it needs to be reverse mount

You mean the wheel balancer? I’m not sure what would need to be calibrated on the tire machine to be honest.

How much you in this work ??
PS I soap the rime and tyre once I break the bead, I find the lub paste does help...
Yeah I always have a bottle with soap/water solution but couldn’t find it when I was doing this vid haha!
When you mounted the last bead , you didn’t go over the duck tail while going under the duck head.
Curious why you didn’t lube the tire prior to removing , waaaaay easier. Since you’re being “generous “ with tire lube.
I usually do, i just couldn’t find my spray bottle solution that day. Makes it so much easier but it’s not absolutely necessary.
Bro u need to come Trinidad 🇹🇹
Great video! What's the biggest diameter wheel/rin the machine can clamp?

If those wheels are worth ANYTHING you should 10000000% not be using a rim clamp. You should never take expensive forged wheels to major tire stores ever. I had a $2200 claim against one after they gouged one beyond repair. And OMG totally not the correct equipment at all for reverse drop wheels.
great instructional video bro... i just picked up one of these ebay machines..
At 17:28 after that I always rip the tire
Thanks bro
