I am looking for the best home tire change set up. I have been doing research and there seems like a couple of ways to do this yourself. Any tips would be great. I cant see paying someone $40 a tire just to install it.

Please help

In addition to that, I definately recommend getting proper tire lube, it's MUCH better than soapy water. I paid like 20 $ for a 2 lbs jar of it at an auto parts store and it lasts for hundreds of tire changes.

Also, I built a better bead breaker out of 2x4s and an old car jack that's much easier to use and that's portable:

That is a great device! I am going to make one of those bad boys. I was wondering what have you come up with for balancing?? Thanks
