I was interested in purchasing a Jr. Pro tire machine, but wanted to find out if it'll work from my application. I need to be able to mount and dismount low-profile car tires on 18x8" and 18x8.5" wheels. More specifically, the tires are Hoosier A6 autocross tires in size 275/35-18 and 245/35-18. According to the specs listed for the Jr. Pro model, it looks like it would work, but wanted to find out for sure before ordering one. Thanks for the info! Andy H.

Yes. You can do it but it will take some effort. I recommend a body weight over 200lbs. Be sure when you clamp the wheel in the blocks that the "Drop Center" is toward the top for best tire clearance. I have done those with our Mount/Demount bar and a Yellow thing tool. It is probably easier than the spoonbars but having one long spoonbar is very helpful to raise the tire for removal of the second bead.
