Changing tyres - how long?
Range Rover Blues:
--- Quote from: "Lostboy" ---Asked the ex to put the road wheels back on after a weekend mud plugging (well I'd put the knobbly ones on, so share the work!). It took about an hour. Two days later I noticed the rotation arrows for the directional treads were all wrong...
--- End quote ---
I'm sure there was a certain logic at work there. Perhaps because it was the return jurney? or because they all point forwards when at the bottom?
Wanderer:
At least both sides weren't pointing in different directions.
Could be interesting in the wet.
Come to think of it.
Could be interesting......

i changed a tyre (new one onto rim and remove old) last night on dyfs motor in under 10 mins with hand tools.
strapping young lad:

it took longer to blow the tyre up didnt it! bloomin tyre wouldnt go onto the rim
looks biz on the back now, and the disco wheel one looks minging compared to the others :twisted:

Just to fly in the face of the thread....
Usually takes me about 1/2 an hour to change a wheel. Mostly because when the wheel is off I will always give the hub a clean up, check the pads, swivel seals, brake line, etc. Have a good look around.. maybe have a cup of tea, clean the brake dust off the inside of the rim... that sort of thing.
No point in rushing :-)
