Can it be used to change tires? Manufacturer's instructions recommends no, but how about real world application. Why/why not?

Depends. If you have a stable flat area where the vehicle won't move then it should work. If on a slope,stay clear. Also you can't really put it under an axle unless you put a piece of plywood or something to spread the load and protect the bag. That said, I use it for that but with caution.

If it pops. I only use for sand extraction I also carry Hilift jack and bottle jack. Be prepared

Of course you can, I just recommend to adjust the rollers. And to avoid noise and wear out of your tire change it for an urban tire

Michael.This compressor was not designed for this job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire. if you have any questions please let us know

I dont know why it cant be used for motorcycle tires my road bike tires take a lot more pressure lots of volume to pump though!

I am sorry. I have not applied my supply, yet. I believe that it is too expensive to be used on tires. One of the comments about this product was written by a person that indicated that he is in the auto detail business or something similar. He says a lot about the application and use. You may want to see other comments posted on Amazon.

honestly don't know, I use it to change 10", 12", & 16" motorcycle tires it's a bitch to do by hand, but if you enjoy the occasional challenge, you can get the job done!

Yep. Not super-fast, but a lot faster than you could do by hand or with a socket wrench/ratchet. EXCEPT, if you have a 4-point wrench, once loosened, I think spinning a 4-point ("X") tire wrench could easily win. As others have said in their reviews, the first few hits take a second or two to wind up and "impact" to loosen.

Never used it for that but I have 35" tires and it only takes 3 min to go from 20PSI to 34PSI so it's very powerful. Maybe call the manufacturer.

No, unfortunately that won't help your tires; it's only good for paper projects really. I am sorry.

No; In my opinion, this is a very light-duty device; really only meant to help a person change a tire on a very light-duty vehicle in an emergency.

Haven't had to but don't see why you couldn't since it will inflate a car tire

yes you can. you lower the 'resistance bar' that the tire would rest on for resistance, until it is no longer touching the tire.

Yes can be used on any amount of tires, just keep track of the order, which tire is 1, 2, etc.

you can't, this tool is mainly used for fastening materials together and does not have the torque you need to change a tire

no.....this is more of a slow steady air source which works great for tires. For what you want I'd look at something like this... http://www.amazon.com/The-Source-S-KIT10-Performace-Portable/dp/B003TFEE0K/ref=pd_sim_hi_5

I have not, but it will work on any "schrader" (automotive style) valve stem equipped tire. the only issue you night have, is on a "larger" tire like a truck or motor home - because the compressor is a single stage; it is conceivable the compressor could "possible" get quite hot or over heat, from continued operation. I'm not saying this is a certainty - only a possible issue you could encounter, you may not. If so, simply give it a rest to cool down and continue operations after cooled down. No big deal. Just my thoughts. My works spectacularly on cars, motorcycles, lawn tractor - no issues.

If it were working properly, it should work fine for bike tires - provided you have a car or other 12 volt DC source to plug it into. Mine also had a defective fitting (part that connects to the tire stem-valve), so it's usable but not great. If you buy it, be prepared to try it right away and to return it if it doesn't work well.
