I figured no one would see it in the other thread about Shady needing tires mounted but…

If anyone needs tires mounted and balanced I have both a tire mounting machine & tire balancing machine(and a lift if needed). I can guarantee it to be cheaper than any place like Adirondack, Goodyear, etc.

Just shoot me a PM and I’ll get back to you with when I’m available and whatnot.

:smile

I have both weights, stick on or clamp on.

And to answer the question of scratching wheels: The way the machine is designed is so it doesn’t touch the wheel when it’s going around the wheel. I haven’t had any experience with scratching wheels with this machine.
