A friend of mine has the no mar. He has it on a hitch mount and it works fantastic.

One little tidbit of advice if your not already doing it. Leave the tire in the sun for about 20 minutes before you change it. A warm tire goes on so much easier.

Also, I think he uses murphy's oil soap.

a great purchase though. I'm sure once word gets out you can change tires, you'll all of sudden have a bunch of new friends. Or at least friends of friends that need their tires changed.

Hey, I'm ok with that. Maybe this will pay for itself. Tires in the sun is a good idea. We certainly don't have a shortage of that down here.

You balance them too. Use a static balancer, NoMar sells it with their package deal, even HF still has one.

Or in a pinch, just use jackstands and the axle.

+1 I have the one from HF and it works well. Now I have the one from No-Mar as well. I'll have to do a comparison to see is one does better than the other. I can't really imagine that they would considering how simple they are in their operation.
