Due to the vast amount of snow, variety of weekend activities and a recent vacation, we didn't get a chance to swap out our winter tires until today. Fortunately, it was nice, bright and warm, making tire swapping a pleasant, yet arduous task.
Our procedure goes as follows: wash the wheels and tires quickly with water, jack up the car, take off a tire, inspect the brakes, put on the other tire, swap out the other tire on the same side, repeat the steps, lower the car, go onto the other side to repeat, torque and check air pressure. Each task is relatively straight forward, just that it takes time to ensure everything is done correctly.
Either way, I'm ready to hit the road for some weekend driving! If only gas prices are cheaper at the moment...
