[QUOTE="moses388, post: 1679678, member: 27368"] If you buy a tire changer, you will still need somebody to do the balancing. Is there a used car dealer nearby that would charge less then the tire shop for repairs? There is a lot of stuff to buy in order to do your own tires: extra tire iron bead lube (or dish soap) bead sealer valve stems core removal tool valve stem fisher buff cleaner cement patches patch roller stitcher rim cleaning tool Make sure the tire changer you buy can handle all your different tire sizes. Like CVAR, I use a manual tire changer from Harbor Freight. Mine is made to handle up to a 16" tire. I think all the newer pickup tires are bigger than 16". I take tires to the local tire shop, but I like having a tire changer. If I get a tire back from the shop that's still not fixed, I can do it myself. Or if it's an easy fix like a valve stem, I do that myself. Or I'll do it myself if everything is closed. [/QUOTE]
