I know a few guys who bought them for motorcycle tires (extra attachment needed I think), and from what I remember they were all happy with them. One of the tips for success is mounting the base very securely. (Like a small slab with studs/bolts imbedded in it.)
You won't be putting 245s on 6 inch wide rims, for sure... If it's securely mounted, you might have some success with it.
Think you might need a 20 foot "Hoosier" cheater bar to get a tire mounted in the cold weather. I have always wondered if it would work with with R tires. But where ever you mount it you have to allow for a lot of swing room of the bar. Then I have seen a guy change a Camaro rim and a R compound tire with tire tools. I would have bet money that could not be done without a busted knuckle. Not changing my SSR's with a tire tool !!!
Will it work? Probably Will it damage an aluminum rim? Yes This type of changer prys aginst the rim to lift the sidewall. So if you are a cheep bastard, and have more wheels than cars, like Mick, this will work for you. So now how do you balance them?
