Benefits of a Tyre Fitting Machine: The Ultimate Guide

Keeping your motorcycle running smoothly is simply easier with a tyre fitting machine. When you visit experts like Tyreman M/C for a tyre fitting service, this magical piece of equipment makes mounting and dismounting tyres onto wheel rims much easier. 

We think a tyre changer is worth the investment due to its ease of operation, speed, and, above all, safety to protect both the user and the vehicle. These machines can handle a variety of tyres and rims, and by the end of this article, you’ll see why you want your next set of tyres to be fitted with one of these wonders.

A motorcycle tyre fitting machine is specifically crafted for larger, lower-profile tyres. Typically handling wheel diameters from 15 to 26 inches, motorcycle tyre changers are large and sturdy. They’re designed with precision in mind, featuring fixed bead breakers and four raised clamps with a plastic covering to manage the depth of motorcycle wheel hubs.

Motorcycle tyre changers often include a vertical press arm, which is ideal for smaller-diameter tyres. This thoughtful design ensures that the machine operates accurately for these compact wheels, delivering safety and efficiency in every use. Despite their smaller size, these machines don’t skimp on performance; they’re built to handle the unique challenges posed by motorcycle tyres with ease.
