Default HELP - i need to buy tire changing tools (where to buy?)

im currently living in a **** hole that wants an outrageous amount of money to change my tires. this is mostly due to the exchange rate.

i could rather spend a couple hundred $ and get some hand tools to do it myself. whats out there. i need something that will do up to the standard 180mm rear (not sure of the rim size off the top of my head.) i know i need to balance so that is a must as well.

ill be honest ive never actually changed/balanced a motorcycle tire but ive done many car/truck tires some im confident in doing to work my self given the tools.

you don't need equipment. Look on youtube for the method with a block of wood
