You will be able to to bolt your winters on and off for the next decade, without having to make an appointment. It takes me about 30 minutes to do mine. Less time than driving to a tire shop and back. I went with a corded electric impact gun I bought at crappy tire 15 years ago for 30 bucks on boxing day, and at least with corded, you don't have to worry about the battery wearing out on something you will use twice a year.
Any moron can do a wheel swap in under an hour if you have the right gear. |
I do agree with this. Very easy to to swap from summer to winter tires if you have two sets of rims...which you should cause it'll save money in the long run. I happened to need a new set of tires mounted this year which is beyond my talent/tool/effort level so I went to Urban X. If you're simply swapping you will spend less time doing it yourself then driving anywhere and waiting the 30min (at least) it will take them.
