diy tyre changing ...

[Shifu]

Since when do you need a fancy and expensive machine to change the tire? People as so lazy these days. A pair of tyre spoon levers and a pair of plastic rim protectors on e-bay $29.95 delivered. And if you do not know how to use it there are plenty of videos on youtube. In an hour job done. Rims not scratched and discs straight.

Of course - I've previously used old hose, a couple of silver serving spoons from the dining room, copious quantities of spit and an old bicycle hand pump - this all in the middle of the desert on a 46 degree day and no shade. Oh and only using my left hand, the right had a tinny in it ...

... but competitive urination aside - the no-mar is a little up market, serving spoons a little basic, something in the middle that makes the job easy would be nice and reduce the risk of damage.

OK. Another option. You can get the no-mar locking blocks and the yellow thing on e-bay and make the rest yourself assuming you are handy and have some tools in a garage. Paying $2000 for a machine that you will use twice a year seems to be very extravagant for me. I was in your situation only few weeks ago and opted for the spoons and a rim protectors
