MacDuck 1st Gear November 30, 2011 Share November 30, 2011 Just came across this video. Looks a lot more detailed than just simpily mounting and balancing! What are the advantages of using less lead weights? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear November 30, 2011 Share November 30, 2011 A little too much video censorship. I have yet to find a tire shop with machine as sophisticated to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear December 1, 2011 Share December 1, 2011 have seen the tyre changing machine long time ago (at least 15 yrs ) at bukit merah and upp east coast there 2 tyre shop using that. so is nothing new and great about that, and the mounting and balancing procedure is already exist in our shore but most will not practise this they said it will in cure extra cost and no 1 is willing to pay for it. The most important issue is so long the wheels are near perfectly balanced. notice the guy uniform SAAB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuoom 1st Gear December 6, 2011 Share December 6, 2011 A little too much video censorship. I have yet to find a tire shop with machine as sophisticated to do that. erm, such machines are common place. almost all decent tyre shops have them. these are pretty basic machines to check for balance of the rims, rims n tyres.

Yeobh 4th Gear December 6, 2011 Share December 6, 2011 (edited) Here is top end italian tyre changer. This is a super automatic lever-less tire changer, particularly designed for RUN-FLAT, SSR and any type of very tough tires. It is suitable for any car tire with rim size from 12" to 30", without any need for lever or other tools to dismount and mount any tire.

Tyre mounting yes, but not the more sphitiscated tyre balance analysing. Anyway that tire tread in the vidoe very good braking performance wet and dry.

Yeobh 4th Gear December 10, 2011 Share December 10, 2011 Oh yes, car owners just have no interest in the machine details and specifications - only shop owners who are footing the big ticket. No manufacturer will product a video or promotion materials to highlight how difficult to use their products - this is 100% sheer stupidity The promotion materials will definetly highlight simple operation, save time and high productivity & patented features. SSR = Semi Solid Rim = usually comprise of two or more pieces bolt into the main core piece. Usually for very wide low profile rims so as to make removing and installation of tyre very easy without causing damage to the beads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
