The EZ Tire Changer 3rd Gen is a portable manual tire changer for 12" to 21" wheels. It breaks the bead, removes the tire and mounts it by hand leverage alone. It needs no electricity or air compressor.
It has a reinforced steel frame and an ergonomic lever design that reduces effort. A universal hub adapter is included. It works with passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks and ATVs, and it is easy to assemble and store.
An inflator or compressor is still needed to inflate the tire afterward. The machine does not balance the wheel, so a mounted or remounted tire should be balanced on a wheel balancer or at a tire shop. It was formerly sold as the LCTX 3rd Gen, with the same machine, spare parts and factory.
