$5 a tyre that sounds to cheap I'd say somewhere between $10 to $20 a tyre at least for most places some maybe up to $25

But using just tyre plyers to change car/4x4 tyres is a pain in the arse

I have, used to be a tyre fitter. Truck tyres are easy as with levers but the smaller rims can be a pain in the arse.

Seen Ryano strip a chrome 15x12" rim out of a 44" Bogger in under 3min with tyre pliers a few weekends ago. Good to watch

15 bucks for a strip and fit is the starting point up here.

Yeh name this $5 shop, I'll get all my tyres fitted there instead of using my own tyre machine.

Well I no longer need it done anyway, i must have been shitfaced when i measured the rims, i just found markings on it saying theyre 8" wide.
