I finally gotten two new tires on the Toyota today.It was a must cause the tire on the passenger side went flat last night and i was lucky to make it to Wisconsin Rapids and back this morning.I stopped at Pomps and they wanted $56ea and Schierl tire wanted $130 for 2 tires.Ended up getting them at Wal-mart for $40ea.I was really surprised cause i was nice and organized and had both tires off the rim and back on in 45 minutes.That includes putting them back on the car.

I don't have a tire machine i do it the way my Grandpa showed me when i was a kid.I put a 2x4 on the tire and drive my truck onto the board.I hit the board to get it off the rim and onto the tire,i then take my bar and hit the bead in different spots by the board until the bead brakes.Then i do it to the other side.I get time i will take pictures of my tire changing process and post it on my website and maybe it will help someone some day.

I had about 2 or 3 inches of snow Friday morning and i didn't blow it off until this afternoon.Might have to get my old girl fired up and scrape my driveway off tomorrow.
