I got my Ranger R76RTF tire machine almost a year ago now. I wanted to spend some time using it before I did a review. I have to say, I really enjoy using this machine. I particularly like the 'Power Assist'. It's made mounting tires so much easier. In fact, I use it all the time now.
The only stand outs with this machine that I think are worth mentioning are that you need to provide adequate space behind the machine so that the boom arm can swing back. You're also going to have to run a dedicated 220v power supply to the unit. I'm finding that's true for most shop equipment.
Thanks for watching!

Very nice machine with 20-star review.

@kentuckycowboy2 8 лет назад

I remember being tickled to death when we got a brand spanking new Coats 1010, we was running up to 1200 tires a month at times there was no problem sleeping at night. Man where does time go?

@fozz3d 8 лет назад

Some advice from an ex-tire fitter.......so, don't take this the wrong way. 1) I never, ever, clamp a wheel from the inside. I always clamp the wheel from the outside. Then you can be 100% sure the wheel is secure and level, it won't slip (particularly if the wheel is wet) when removing a tire and the head won't scratch the rim. 2) When removing tire, alloys can be easily be marked/dented/scratched when you leave the tire lever on the wheel while you rotate the plate. I usually pull the sidewall over the head and support the tire as I pull the lever out then rotate the plate. Trust me, I've seen it millions of times with other tire fitters/mechanics when changing tires on alloy wheels leaving marks from cowboy fitters. 3) Get a cheap used non-serrated knife with a wooden handle for cutting off valve stems. Don't use a razor blade, too small and they slip easy with gloves. 4) Read up on what the yellow and red painted dots on the side of new tires are for, it'll help you with balancing of the tire etc. Please don't take any offence, just sharing my knowledge. Happy tire fitting!

@mrman17 8 лет назад

+Robert Thomas This was more of a review of the machine than a "how to", but you are right, especially with the dots on the tyre walls and the lines around the circumference for lateral run-out, etc. Too many tyre fitters ignore this.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+Robert Thomas No offense taken. Thanks for the input. I do know about the dots and use them whenever possible. I clamp the wheels on the inside because it's easier for me. If one starts to slip because of CV boot grease or something like that I'll clamp on the outside. Thanks again for the advice.

@hairpunut 8 лет назад

I work at a local walmart installing tires. And most of what i see him doing is just a no for me. And I'm surprised he didn't use tire bead sealer. I suppose as long as the rim is very clean you shouldn't technically need it. lol

@nik12937 8 лет назад

+KingConker101 Bead sealer is a last resort if the tire still doesn't seal after cleaning the rim. I hate doing tires on vehicles that go to other places normally for that exact reason, then I have to spend 20 minutes just cleaning off all the old sealer. Clean the damn rim and don't be lazy.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+KingConker101 I fiiggin HATE bead sealer. In fact, I refused to even buy any from my supplier. If you've ever had to spend a half hour cleaning it off of a wheel, I don't think you would use it either. In my opinion, bead sealer is the lazy mans way out.

I use to work for a big car rental fleet as a car tech and my boss got a few of these ranger tire machines and digital balancers, the fleet consisted of around 6000-7000 cars , we changed the entire fleet of cars using these Rangers , that was 7 years ago , the machines been through he'll and back , and were pretty neglegted maintenance wise, I was impressed

I have a Bendpack lift and noticed the Ranger products on there web site. That tire changer is really nice! The boom and power assist arm has to be a great options. Nice review.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+wyattoneable It is awesome. I love it and the balancer for that matter.

@richardbishop8947 7 лет назад

Ive used this machine minus the side arm for a few years.Its been a good machine.The problems I had were the valves on the pedals had nylon spacers that didnt hold up but I believe they cured that issue.The tire gauge lasted about a year.The oiler blew through the oil too fast and didnt regulate well.Because of the price Ill probably buy another one.I used it to also dismount low boy tires although Im sure this wasnt meant to be used for this.It handled it but stressed the motor

@dimosk7389 8 лет назад

the bead breaker adjustment (for wheels above or bellow 10") is reffering to width of the rim. you said its for diameter, but the little sticker at 7:32 measures width, not diameter

@Hondatech26 8 лет назад

I'm expecting to see a video of you doing some reverse mount 24" wheels with $85 chinese made 25 series sidewall tires in the coming weeks. I'm joking of course. Lol. My brother and I own a wheel repair shop and we deal with that kind of stuff on a daily basis. Can be a major pain in the ass at times. Always love those cheap chinese tires that behave more like hard plastic than rubber. Keep up the good work Eric. I continue to be amazed by how far you've come since you started.

thank you eric for being you

@mds2465 8 лет назад

that's a great edition to your shop. I'm glad you decided to put some good quality Michelin Tires on the Nissan. As for the arm hitting the wall, personally I usually just put some sort of adhesive padding on the back of whatever hits the wall so that it doesn't create a dent, sort of like the ones that people put underneath chair legs to prevent them from scratching the floor, something to that effect. assuming it doesn't have an adjustable extension limiter to prevent that from happening.

@SuperSportSS 8 лет назад

I wish I had a machine like this. So I can take the time and do it the right way. Instead of having to go to a tire shop and having to worry not if, but how many gouges will be in my alloys.

@turenolevin4672 7 лет назад

nice experiment, Eric.

@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP 8 лет назад

HA! I remember watching my Grandfather use the cars' bumper jack, base plate, lug wrench/jack handle (called a "tire tool") and the weight of car to do this, 1973.

@richardsquires6534 8 лет назад

The plastic mounting heads are great insurance against scratching up nice alloy wheels. The time it takes to swap the metal one for the plastic one is worth it. 1 scratch = mad customer and $$ out of your pocket. Not good. Plastic heads wear quickly, but they're worth it! And the Rema 930 tire knife is a lot nicer than a razor blade. Love those things.

@j.decker7443 8 лет назад

FYI We used to coat the beads with STP oil treatment for an old rusty and dirty rim. Did many old rusty farm wagon tires in my day. Never had one leak.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+Jim Decker Interesting. Thanks for the tip.

@russellingram7876 5 лет назад

I like the machine and i like the fact your just a regular Joe and your not trying to be something your not. Very good video and on just a regular guy/girl level.. Thank you. +haha I've had them stars come out, no fun....

@cmclaughlan01 6 лет назад

The horozontal wheel on the power assist is for when tyres fall down and stick back to the bead after you have taken the top bead off so you dont have to awkwardly take the half removed wheel and tyre back to the bead breaker. Very common with bridgstone tyres

@RcFlashlight 2 года назад

Ikr, I hate doing that on our machine since it's just the bare bones (breaker and rim clamp style) type of machine.

@maestrovso 3 месяца назад

I bought a 13 years old Ranger equivalent of this from a high volume race car shop. There must had been thousands of wheel went through it before my ownership. The bead breaker cylinder shaft is bent as well as totally wrecked on the surface so it just destroy the o-ring seals. Unfortunately I had to buy an entire costly OEM cylinder as the aftermarket ones that I can find in the US are all smaller. Just got it up and running today as soon as the cylinder arrived. I am just learning how to dismount and mount a tire and managed one. I have many race cars with wide and low profile tires so a cheap tire changer will not work for those.

@AndreS_-df2nw 3 года назад

That's one fancy tire macheen. It can make armpit stars come out. Any real car guy's shop should have one. That way you can buy cheap used tires from wrecking yards to do lots of burnouts. I was using a May 'tire matic' (1940's wheel bender/grinder) & recently upgraded to a Coates rim clamp unit... I hate having to take a tire to a shop now.

@offtrackpl 8 лет назад

Stars will come out.... LOLOL

@February54 8 лет назад

+SpotterJacob I remember changing a tire and when I was seating the top bead, I had to push the sidewall down with my hand, and my hand got caught between the bead and the rim. Stars did come out, and so did tears. I was wearing work gloves and yet, it was painful as hell. Had to use the machine to spin the tire the other way to unseat the bead and free my hand. Luckily no injuries. Be careful, kids!

@bg147 8 лет назад

+February OMG. The beads pop in with a huge amount of force. Just the sound scared me when I did it for the first few times.

@kdmq 4 года назад

I don't work with tires often so I don't use valve stem installers. I just put the cap on halfway, stick needle nose into the gap just below the cap and use the flange as a fulcrum just as with the actual tool. You can ruin the threads on the plastic cap but that's not the end of the world.

@Brock2357515 8 лет назад

you can take that little spring off of the bead breaker... that'll make moving it out of the way easier when your pulling the tire out of it to rotate it

@nicke2307 7 лет назад

Right now I got a hunter tc3250. The thing I like about hunter is they weigh much less and are more compact. Was wondering Eric, what's your opinion on road force balancing? I want to pull the trigger and get a road force balancer but I don't know if I can justify the cost

@Byu50 5 лет назад

Great review.. thanks for all for your videos. Your videos helped a lot of RU-vidr. How much did you pay for the tire machine? Just curious. I’m thinking about getting one for home garage.

@TheForzadrifter 8 лет назад

Hey Eric, I am purchasing a 98' Jeep Grand Cherokee tmw, and the only issue with it is that reverse doesnt engage every time, and it only will try to engage while in 4 low? Any ideas on what to check first? The lower the cost the better. I keep seeing things about tightening the "band" and/or changing the snap ring in the transmission fluid pan, what should I do?

@brians7185 7 лет назад

Great review! Side note. Did you know there is a valve core remover on the other end of the valve stem remover/installer?

@johnthooker 5 лет назад

I could mount and balance 4 15" tires in 20 minutes back in my 20's. I always enjoyed working on cars but you just can't make any money doing it anymore. My father did well back in the 70s and 80s but nowadays it's just not worth it. I still work on cars but on the side, for myself. I still don't make very much money working for myself. Anyways, the machine seems to be nice but I like an air table better, they're faster. Also I like the bead breaker activating button on the handle itself, but that's just personal preference. Nice machine it seems.

What i do is grind all the grime from the bead and then add bead sealer. But the bead sealer i use is easy to remove when needed

Great videos Eric, Just wanted to add something a bought doing newer wheels with tire pressure sensors. you want the steam to be the first to come off and the last to go on to keep from ripping the sensor off they can cost big if you brake one.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+Sanford Brown Yea, I learned that the hard way when I put the winter tires on my wife's van last month. Thanks for the tip.

@HelderFontesPT 8 лет назад

I'm curious about the tire balancing machine you bough and I'm looking forward to see the review. I hope you managed to afford to buy one with road-force balancing, like some machines from Hunter. Standard machines only try to correctly center the mass of the wheel so that centrifugal forces are evenly distributed and cancel themselves out while the wheel is rotating. "Road-force" goes beyond that and accounts for the own tire forces that are generated while rolling on the road with weight in it (irregularities on the tire surface and sidewalls). It even tells you what are the tires that are better match as a pair, to allow better wheel alignment, etc I can say from personal experience (as a customer), balancing with road-force is another level... Once I tried it, I never want to go back to regular tire balancing. Keep the good work and the great videos coming :)

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+Helder Fontes That review is next. It is not a road force balancer, but it is a very good machine just the same.

@HelderFontesPT 8 лет назад

+EricTheCarGuy Ok :) I'm sure that, even though your balancer is not road force capable, you have made a pondered decision, weighting all the pros and cons of your possible options, trying to achieve the best real value for the money spent. Thank you for your reply. I will see that review for sure!

Very cool to see the process, and to see you still working with Michelin a/s. Where is your shop in Ohio? Anywhere near Heath, Columbus, or ottoville?

@grizzlydan8 8 лет назад

I liked the old Coats 10-10 best. I could sure change tires a lot faster on that. It also broke beads easily and you didn't have to change the position of the wheel once it was mounted on the machine. It would probably mess up the new fancy pants wheels, but I don't like them ether.

@Blazer02LS 8 лет назад

+Brian Burke Right angle die grinder, very handy to have in the shop. You can use a lot of different 1/4" tools in it, carbide burrs, sanding discs and more, you just need to watch the rpm rating on the tool, they run around 10,000 rpm so putting a wire wheel rated for 4,000 in them is not a good idea.

@kazman500 8 лет назад

Is the tire "goo" the stuff that keeps the seal? Or is it the rubber pressing against the rim that creates the seal?

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

+Kasra Sadeghian No, it's just a lubricant. Helps things go together easier. The 'bead' of the tire seals against the rim. As long as it's clean, you don't need to use any sealer. That's why I cleaned the wheel the way I did.

@barryhunt5357 8 лет назад

@PUNKANDGOTH 8 лет назад

never brake a bead near the valve stem you can break a tpms sensor

You should totally fabricate a left side rack for all the tools to have them handy. Or maybe even buy one, i think saw some on eBay a year ago, should be some still.
