Why is it not recomended for tire shops?

It maybe because its torque range is listed from 200-900. If you aren't using torque limiting extensions there is a risk of twisting the studs off or the nut could be so tight that a person wouldn't to able to get them off. Also using any impact wrench without the torque limiting extensions can warp your disc brake rotors if you don't get each lug nut tightened equally. I hope this helps.

My take is, with the lowest setting, it will hit 120ftlbs in no time. Since this is a twin clutch, I hear the torque limiters don't work with this tool because of the smooth impacts. You will have to test to find out.

Mind you it's tire shops specifically - not auto repair in general. The reason lies in the twin clutch mechanism. A lot of tire shops impact with the tires off the ground. This can cause the tire to rotate slightly while being impacted. The secondary rotation while impacting can bind the pins of the clutch. All it takes to release is to take your finger off the trigger.

First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on? I would not use it on any automotive tire! Lawn equipment, dollies,etc have been the type of equipment I have used slime on and found if treated properly according to directions results have been excellent. For reasons of safety I would never use it on high speed equipment. Tires on cars & trucks need to be kept in balance or you will cause wear and on the tire and possibly wear to bearings and other components. I would never use it on car and truck tires as it may settle inside the tire unevenly and cause out of balance conditions. First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on?

The inventory changes a few times a week. The tires I just viewed had DOT code 2413. Let us know if you have more questions. Thank You,VITTORE WHEEL 800.560.7834

There are different sizes and prices depending the type of your tire. Michelin has a table guides you pick the right one

If the pattern matches you may. However you wouldn't know without having one of these physically in your hand. Why don't you go to a local tire shop?

You may wanna take a look on the VIN PLATE on your vehicle. It should tell you the standard tires that you should run on your vehicle. Just a note... If you put a larger taller or wider tire, walmart will not install. They are the least expensive source for having AMAZON tires installed.

Mr. Clark getting knobbies to eliminate thorns punturing your tires is not the answer. Better to invest in tire liners and slime tubes.

The original tires are good, you can buy new, but not the inner tubes, these suck and it's difficult to found a replacement

Tire irons if you haven't already tried using some of those. Some rims can be more difficult than others and make the task go from just requiring pressure and manipulation from your hands and thumbs to requiring tire irons to leverage the tire over the rim

I've not had to replace the tires but thought that the bicycle repair shop in our town would have them. I guess I need to check just in case.

Did you ever find a answer? Trying to figure this out myself, the tires seem to be the weak point!

It sounds like you might have a problem. I would suggest that you call Milton in Chicago and ask them about a replacement. I have had contact with them in the past and they have been very helpful. You can get their number via their Internet site. It is my view that Milton is the best tire inflator on the market. Final thought: I had a problem with a CH gauge once and it turned out to be a small speck of rubber lodged in the valve stem, which stopped the gauge from recording air pressure. Thus I might recommend that you try the gauge on different tires before contacting Milton. Good luck. John

A lawn and garden store that carries the tires can tell you what size tube to use. I myself don't use tubes.

The air wouldn't work to air up tires. I tried it one day after the 30 day warranty ran out, it didn't work and they wouldn't replace it. I was stuck with something that didn't work and still had to pay for it.

I don't know. I would call the local tire shop and ask them before you order.

It isn't very powerful. It can do a car tire but not an SUV tire. I wish I got a more powerful one. I thought AC power would make it more powerful but it isn't much better than a DC powered unit.

If you don't have a compressor with a tire filling attachment, you can always go to a gas station with a tire station for filling you car's tires. Or you can fill it up with a tire pump which would be tiring! I use my compressor!
