the travel to and from events and the cost of it, might work out for you and drivers would love it. just make sure your machine can do up to 18s and low profiles or you'll miss out on quite a few drivers. might also give the option to do $5 per tire or $25 for 'all day' maybe. i dunno, just what ive seen done before.

Get it?




Someone used to have a tire machine at drift events a long time ago. All I heard were positive responses. Except for Tim, who got stuck mounting everything because no one knew how to use it.

Make sure the tracks will allow it... don't wanna get kicked out, alot of the track owners are greedy ass people and would at the least prolly make you pay them.

i think that's the best idea in the fucking world.... i ran out of tires last night, and had some spares, went to use the machine at CFRC.... looked like the POS was made in 1945 and could BARELY mount a 16" tire... fail sauce..

coming from a driver, me, i say do it, i'll deff be looking for you at every event as i seem to go through tires every two runs, and i'm worried about running out...

$5 per tire dismount/mount is about average, i know at OSW the guy there changed tires for "free" to avoid the hassle of the greedy owners, but a $5 "tip" was pretty much mandatory...

only thing you MAY have to consider, is tire disposal, unless you you have ready access to disposal facilities... i know i'd love to not have to take my blown out, cut inducing steel belted tires home with me.... i got a stack out back of finished off tires...
