Anyone have any good PropTips to share?
I just finished my first winter tire swap and learnt I should probably invest in a rubber mallet, and use anti-seize on the inside of the rim next time to prevent rust and sticking.

Save your back. Pay the money at a shop. Peace of mind. Maybe get an oil change and a washer fluid top up while you’re at it.
Or busy your balls swinging a hammer at the back of every wheel. Struggle to get it mounted flush because of the corrosion on the centering hub, then don’t torque your wheels correctly and watch it fly off down the the road.
There’s nothing wrong with doing it yourself. Unless you have a issue with your back, some work is good for you
Do you pay someone to change your toilet paper roll also?
Assuming your a mechanic and haven’t had to book a tire appointment recently in the last few years. No appointments for weeks, only dropp offs middle of the day (have to leave work). the 30 minute job is 4 hours before the vechile is ready. No courtesy shuttles anymore. The tire change is $80+
Much cheaper and more time efficient for myself to do it myself on my own schedule.
I have a torque wrench and Jack and stands, doing it all safely.
