I’ve changed and rotated my own tires 100+ times—here’s how to do it safely

Whether you’re rotating your tires to extend their life, swapping between summer and winter wheel sets, or simply installing a different set of wheels to give your car a fresh look, no rule says you must pay a tire shop to do it. With a handful of basic tools and about an hour of free time, you can handle the job yourself and save the money of having it done at the dealer. You also don’t need a dedicated garage.
