I can get both tyres changed and back on the bike in 45 minutes.
Honestly tyres are a cinch, and changing them yourself gives you the opportunity to check the bearings and seals and you know they are balanced correctly too.
There are other benefits too, you can shop around for good deals on tyres, not pay dealership prices and at the very least you can save 30 quid a pair on fitting.
Within two tyre changes I had saved enough money to cover the cost of the tyre changer and a compressor.
Another benefit is that you can also change the tyres on your other vehicles saving money there too.
would it not be easier to just have spare wheels lol
