Read on a thread guy's pay R171/ R128 RAND in CP just to get a new tyre fitted, that's the worst act of theft I have ever seen.

And on top of that to replace a 21' front is like changing a bicycle tyre. How do you guy's repair a tyre on the road?

Tyre balancing is ridiculously easy and you only need a basic setup to do it yourself. The tyre changer is a bit of a problem, home DIY changers don't get sold in SA.

Who would be interested to have these at home and change and balance their own tyres?

This is available in the US for around 100$,

This balancer cost 140$ and can handle most bikes tyres, you can make your own for a fraction of the cost.
