XK-New 2.0 Horsepower Tire Changer Wheel Changers Machine Combo Balancer Rim Clamp 580-690 with 36 Month Part Replacements

I’ve got expensive chrome wheels with reverse lips and low pro stretched tires. Tire guys nightmare I understand so I started doing them myself manually with a modified HF changer and it was brutal. I bit the bullet and bought this machine after doing quite a bit of research on these units. At first I was going to save some cash and get the single arm unit but I’m so glad I paid extra for the helper arms because I couldn’t do it without them. Everything works as it should. I haven’t tried the bead blaster yet because I surprisingly don’t need it. The debeader works flawlessly. I only slipped once with the clamps and that was because I didn’t have the bead pushed down on the opposite side of the duck so it was trying to stretch around everything. That was my fault. The one thing I’m struggling with is keeping the bead blaster air tight. The threads on the back of the tank and the 1inch nut connecting the blaster leaks regardless. I’ve covered the entire thing in teflon, used the correct amount, over tightened, under tightened, pipe dope, instant gasket and nothing works to seal it. It’s not leaking so much I can use the unit efficiently but just enough to make me whine. Now the balancer is a little confusing but if you follow the user manual one part at a time, it’s not too bad. It needs to be calibrated with a steelie. I tried calibrating with my regular wheel and it just shut the unit off after the second phase every time. Grabbed my steel spare and it calibrated instantly. I recommend getting the pair of units because static balancers just don’t work for wheels these days being so wide. These wheels balance like butter and it helped me see that I have a bent barrel just enough to hop down the road. Good excuse to get a new set soon. Also I want to emphasize the seller reaching out regarding shipping and getting everything taken care of. They called and I couldn’t answer because I was working but they were able to pivot to a chat and help me get the lift gate added on for free. It was shipped with fedex and the guy brought it all the way into my garage for me. The crates were stacked though with the 300lb balancer on top. Luckily I had the packaging from my couch that I used as a cushion to knock it over and from there I was able to unpack and walk it over to its corner. The changer was a little tougher but not much worse than getting a car an inch off the ground onto jackstands. Little at a time and a lot of back n forth. I bought HF casters and put under it as I slid it off the pallet. I’m glad I did because I couldn’t have walked it over by myself. I was able to get the top and both arms installed by myself too and I’m just a lil guy. I’m not hurt either so just be patient and deliberate in how you move and assemble it and you’ll be fine by yourself. I’m stoked I’ve got this machine. I really want to shred tires every weekend now just so I can use it.

Best thing to have. Durable

Great machine. Gets the job done. We us for maybe 50 tires a month and there was a parts issue at 4 months. Almost caught tire. Quick response from seller with so so instructions. Also machine does have 18 month parts warranty. . But this machine may have issues with run flat tires. Otherwise the machine is good. We will be moving this machine to another truck because we need one a little bigger. But we will still be using this one.

This may be one of my... if not... the best purchase ever! The changer and balancer came well crated and secured. Delivery driver was cool. I think he may have been more excited than me that I got a tire changer. I've done multiple tire sets from 20" truck tires to 18" low pros and 15" steelies. DEFINITELY buy the unit I got with all the helper arms if you're gonna do low profile tires. Units were easy to assemble. You gotta watch the air lines and the folding helper arms! I barely started using it and pinched and broke an airline. Replaced and rerouted and was good to go. The tire balancer is tricky! That darn thing! You'll watch 3-5 videos online while trying to read the instructions before you successfully operate it. I made a video for my personal use. Maybe I can circle back one day and post my video on here for folks. This is a great deal as you can't get a name brand one used on Craiglist/Marketplace for this price.

It's a great unit! I got the 988 and the 690 It will do a 21 in dirt bike wheel says only 20 in but it's more like 23 in wheels will do a 38 in tire truck tire .glad I got the 988 with the helper arms. Only problem is one of the helper arms is leaking air out of end of it ! Called the company said they were sending me a new one ring ! Other then that I've done 1 set of dirt bike tires and 6 sets of truck tires 33in to 38 in you need to buy some good tire lube the stuff that comes with it works but not slippery the tire balance works good just need to calibrate it with a 15 in wheel and all ways zeros out wish I got one 20 years ago! It's all reddy save me $700 from taking them to a shop! and they don't come back damaged and balance wrong. Suggest watching some you tube videos to make sure you don't damage tpms sensors. If you have never used a tire machine. And the instructions are horrible. It's pretty simple if have any mechanical ability's there are you tube videos on assembly. Mayflower, xk,cotes,ox they are all the same machine I give it a 3 star because I have to fix the arm and don't know if it will show up and my last picture is the option jaws for small 8 in trailer tires and motor cycle wheels don't need to to 21 in wheels but will.for 8 in trailer wheels only does 10in with stock jaws

Tire machine works very well but when I got it, they didn’t have all the hoses hooked up hooked up inside the machine so I had to figure that out other than that it works well if you can get a better tire balancer with this package, I’d say it’s a very good deal although the tire balancer does work fine. It makes a little clunking noise sometimes. I would say the tire machine is somewhere between a four or five because it wasn’t hooked up completely. I used to have a snap on Tire machine when I had my business and I’d say compared to what I spent for that snap on one this one’s a good deal

Arrived early in perfect shape from California to Michigan. Seller was very helpful answering shipping questions and FedEx called prior to schedule delivery. Couldn't be happier. Dismounted and mounted trailer tires and UTV tires after assembly works great.

The tire machine is too weak, will not break the bead like most other machines. The balancer is defective, it will determine to put the weight on opposite side and then ask you to put more weight on the opposite side and it keeps
