|  Who changes their own tires?
It's not exactly around the corner, but sometime in the next year or so I'll be faced with getting my tires replaced. I've found 4 or 5 tutorials on the internet on doing it yourself. They vary in methods somewhat, but they all have a common theme....it's a PITA which involves a lot of sweating and cursing because most guys have to make do with cheaper less specialized tools for the job. I like doing as much of my own maintenance as feasible, and I'm a pretty handy guy, but if the mounting fee was the only thing I was saving I wouldn't even think about it. However tires on the net seem cheaper as well. I could maybe save well over a hundred bucks doing it myself, but I'd like to gauge just how much of a common practice it is and if it's really something I should consider bothering with.
