I had a slow leak on a tire on my truck, and a take-off from one of the
SDs I wanted to put on a rim I bought, to use as a spare. I go to this
tire place, they have a small corner lot, and the parking spaces in
front are numbered with 2 floor jacks at each one. They have 5 or 6 in
front, a few along the side that are covered, and some space out back
for parking. You pull into a spot, the guy jacks the car and does the
tire changing there, with a coupla bays for mounting, spinning, etc.
Very efficient. I got the leak fixed (small nail) but he would not
mount the old tire (which still had a fair amount of tread) since it was
a 2002 vintage and he couldn't do anything over 10 years. I guess that
makes sense at some level, but for a spare...
Anyway, interesting shop but the spare deal kinda annoyed me. The
intersection of trial lawyers and the nanny state...
