We have 3 tire changers, a Hunter TC3500 most popular with the techs. easiest and fastest to use for most tires and wheels. It can be difficult for very low profile tires and run flats. We purchased a Corghi Artigliomaster for use on the runflats and very low profile tires and it works great but takes more time to use even on standard tires. The other downside is it is very expensive.

Any machine that you buy is going to be expensive to do today's tire and wheel combos. We puchased ours quite a few years ago when 20-22 in. wheels were custom. Now a lot of vehicles come from the factory with as big as 22's. So bite the bullet and buy a good one...to answer your question...I've never gone wrong with Hunter!!!
