GarageReady / Tyre equipment

Tyre bay buying guide

Choose tyre equipment around the work you actually do.

Start with wheel sizes, tyre volume, low-profile and run-flat work, then match the changer and balancer to the same workload. GarageReady keeps verified specifications separate from supplier claims and leaves unknown data visible.

GarageReady approach

Buy the changer and balancer as a system.

A fast changer paired with an unsuitable balancer still creates a bottleneck. Match both machines to the same wheel range, throughput and operator needs, then plan the bay around the flow between them.
