Despite the fact that calendar spring has already come in the central part of Russia, experts do not advise rushing to change wheels. At a minimum, you need to wait for a constant plus during the week, as well as at night.
But then you can already sign up for a tire fitting or change the tires yourself.
With a full set of rubber on discs, any average motorist can cope with changing shoes, and even without special tools and experience in mounting tires.
If you use an ordinary jack, it is better to replace it with a special stand under the car for insurance. Well, or at least put a spare wheel so that when falling, the threshold is on the rim, and not on the tire.

Prepare an emphasis under the steering wheel – yes, at least half a brick. Inspect the secret key for damaged code elements and clean the secret nuts/bolts on all wheels.

To be on the safe side, check the tightness of the wheel mountings after the first ride and check the tire pressure the next morning.
