I think I'd save 30+ minutes easily and easily be able to go from start to finish in around 30 mins if I stored my tires in my garage. But then the garage would be cramped just to save around 30-40 minutes twice a year on swaps.
2 minutes after driving for retorque? How fast you driving to get that 30-50 km in?  |
Haha, ya I used to have to do that, before I built the best garage ever. I hauled my floor jack up form the basement, all the tools to the driveway, tires from the shed across the yard. Now they are all on the wall next to the car, I can do the pressures on the wall, plop them down right where I work...so good!
I meant 2 minutes to do the re-torquing, not the driving. I don't count driving as part of it, because someone is gonna need to go to the store at some point, why waste gas? You don't need 30-50km, at my dad's shop we'd drive around the block with some heavy acceleration and braking (particularity the BMW Z3...) and that does it. Never had an issue.
