It took me around 15 minutes to change the tire on my truck.

About 10-12 was turning the damn Jack and turning the winch that holds the tire under the bed.

Actually getting the tire off and replaced? Around 3.50 minutes.

Apparently I have to dial 10 digits now so there will be additional time to get roadside assistance out while I get in another car.

on the side the road with the crappy jack and wrench that comes with the truck? 15-20 minutes.

At home with a better jack and a tire iron? 5-7 minutes

Floor jack and a 4-way lug wrench or torque wrench. 10 minutes.

Using shitty jack equipment that comes with most vehicles: 30 minutes if the jack doesn’t slip and the truck crushes a body part.

I had a flat going through meridian ms one Sunday night. It was cold and rainy and I was in a sketchy part of meridian. I tried to get that tire off and new one on so fast think it was around 15 minutes

That’s all I have. I’m glad my time estimation is in line with yours. Looking back and typing out how long it took me started to have me worried I was a failure.

Took me about an hour last time.

50 minutes cussing because I cannot find the lug key, 10 minutes to actually change the tire.

20-30 minutes I guess? Never timed myself. Usually lowering the damn spare is the worst part

30 mins if you are talking side of the road, start to finish, and cleaning the grime off and driving away.

Have you ever pulled over on the side of the road that had a slight hill down away from the road abs because of that your Jack is now and inch too short? Infuriating .
