When Trevor (aka Mr. money bags, T-bone, T-rex, the body, Jose Canseco, etc) and I say we do something. We don't mess around. We swing Easton aluminum bats like no one can...

With the help of Trevor, I just got in my Ranger 23ST tire changer and the DST 1200 balancer from 2 great people (Justin and Bruce) over a Babco.

I can now perform tire changes and balancing out of the garage. No more paying those tire shops $100+ for 4 low profile tires changes.

This unit can do practically any tires effortless. I used a machine similar to mine to my mount a 275/30R19 tire onto a rim and it was on in literally 20 secs with 0 effort.

If any fellow local NSXer needs some tire changed and balanced. I can extend a service to you now.
 
Yo Ed, you are the man. You're buying everything I would buy if I was a mechanic. Should I take pictures of our tire change?
 
Check out Ed's tire changer machine.

I got you still beat with MC's car alone. I pulled his tranny 3x for clutch changes.

You are currently on 2.5 clutches.....
 
Yes, you have me beat, and we haven't talked about how my daughter thinks your Tall, Dark, and Handsome!

Had a decent chat with Warren yesterday.

Over the past 3 weeks, I have done about 10 sets of tire changes and balancing. Although, I am quite familar with tire mounting balancing. I am still learning the characteristics of this machine.

The lowest profile I have performed so far is a 235/40R18 tire. Managed to mount of 4 of them without any problems. So anything with a larger aspect ratio shouldn't be a problem.


Trev "soup can"...
 
My tires are down to 5/32nds. Really just 1/32 left to wear off.
Eddie, You don't want to know what I paid for my wifes RE01Rs on the S2000 mounted and balanced at Kal Tire! (nice tires though)
 
With every tyre change you probably also get a chance to win a matching power washer!

If had to guess for 4 brand new tires mounted and balanced. I would say $800because they are discontinued and clearing them out. But that is strictly a guess
