How to change a tire.

Keep in mind I mean a tire, not a wheel, like you see people doing on the side of the road.

@SinlessOnslaught you mean like how they remove a tire from the rim in a garage?
@powernap Yes, with one of those rotating machines.

@SinlessOnslaught about 2 decades ago, while working in a garage, a friend and I did something rather amusing. We had a 4 tire ticket on a geo metro and decided to have a little fun. One of us drove the vehicle on the lift and then the party started. We mounted 4 brand new tires on, with valve stems, balanced all 4 tires. Did a visual on the brakes, checked frt. End for play, hand torqued the tires and had it out the door in twelve minutes.

Another time, we did the same with a full size Buick with white walls out. We did everything like above and had the white walls washed and the vehicle out in 17 minutes. Those were the days.
