I have considered that in the past with endless sets of summer and winter wheels for the family fleet, but the fact I've never used one has put me off. Would you be up for doing a demo, I'd be interested to see how easy or difficult it is.
Ye sure. Its dead easy. I got the power assistor arm so i could do runflats, rally tyres and track stickies. Anything with a stiff wall is a nightmare without it.

Biggest reason for getting it in the end was when i got the dyno i was tyred of cooking good tyres but i didnt always have spare wheels. This way i can swap them before and after a session.
Ive got the patches plugs and weights in a consumables packas well as the motorbike attachments for the balancer and changer.
Dont buy 2nd hand. Most are past it/ abused and balancers usually have missing cones etc and a changer is useless without a balancer.
