I have something similar for gokarting and it paid for itself with in a year of racing only mine was $1000. 20 bucks to mount and dismount tires adds up quickly. How much does a full size tire machine go for?

Exactly the math I was thinking!

The pair of these are are about $2,200 delivered on ebay... new with warranty... would be a bit of 2 years to payback for me, I think... and should hold some value if I ever sell down the road

Oh well that's not bad at all, plus it's way more convient to do it at home then take it to a shop. I say go for it Forewarn though people we be nicer to you and ask to borrow it lol.

Hmm, I get my race tires mounted for $10 each, would need to mount 50 full sets of tires to get payback. The convenience factor would be huge though.

I've been thinking the same thing. Discount has upped their charge to 140 for a swap out now. I was actually thinking of just getting a mounter and taking them to be balanced afterwards, at least initially. I could also use it in my business here too, since people always want to bring me their wheels with the tires on for coating.
