IIRC it wasn't as tedious as what others are expecting. It takes like 2-3 minutes a tire, 8-10 minutes a full set. I believe the place that did this for me was a tire repair shop that wanted the rocks out before looking for the leak. This was a while ago though. |
I don't understand how it could be done in 8-10 minutes on a tire let alone a set of tires. Are we talking about complete removal or just larger stones? There can be hundreds of little chips embedded in the tight tread lines of a single winter tire and you can't simply spin the tire and use a pick to remove them. Maybe a steel brush can get a lot out while the tire is spinning or there's some fancy process I've never heard of as this is all new to me that you can remove all the stones in a winter tire this quickly and easily.
