Hi Guys I am looking for someone in brisbane with an automated tyre machine . I need to strip tyres off around 20-30 13" moke wheels. Happy to do the work myself if it helps. Willing to pay in alcohol or cash. I am on Northside but will take a trailer wherever needed.

Have you seen their prices?, I have been quoted up to $20 a wheel which is crazy for a job that takes a few minutes.

I am hoping someone has a machine in their backyard workshop I can use, if not I will have to buy my own.

try a wrecker that sells tyres... failing that, if they're throwaway tyres then an angle grinder works

In all seriousness, have you tried doing it by hand with tyre levers and bead breaker? Yes physical effort is involved, but its a good work out And if your wondering yes i have changed 10" tyres and truck tyres by hand and i know tyre fitters who change tyres faster by hand then by machine.

Has anyone read this guys post, you suggest using an angle grinder or doing it with levers

He said he has 20-30 to do

Has Matt Read aka: theminiman got one tucked away in his workshop??

Yes i did read his post by the time he does a few by hand he would go nearly as fast by hand as machine. Provided a suitable bead breaker is at hand and 2 tyre levers.

I only suggested it as he is IMO unlikely to find a workshop that would let him use one. I would say they will all want to be paid to do it themself. Which would be rather expensive

Yep...seen my old dad do many a tyre....a big hammer to break the bead...
In the good old days you would often see truck drivers by the side of the road changing tyres.
As you said a good workout...I'd say better then going to the gym.
Nobody's asked How come 30 moke wheels? Where did they come from and why have they got to have the tyres off?
So many questions

He didn't say he was in a hurry, just that he wanted it cheap!

my suggestion of a wreckers was serious - my local importer often swaps tyres around for me for nothing, I reckon if I rocked up with a trailer full of 20-30 wheels on a saturday afternoon, he might charge me $80 to strip the lot...

the expensive part will be disposing of the old tyres

Three Point Classic at Mt Gravatt will do this for you.

They will charge $220 to remove 30 tyres for you plus tyre disposal charge of $2.20 per tyre if you dont take them with you. The tech here says its about 1.5-2 hours work.

The standard charge in the industry is around $10-20 per tyre to remove only without tyre disposal charges.

so 30 of them at $220 works out to about $7 each or thereabouts.

call 07 3849 7933 if your interested.

otherwise a wrecking yard is the best option.

I had about 20 wheels to do so I bought one of those $99 tyre changers off ebay. It did the job fine. Still hard work but not as hard as doing it with tyre levers.
