So has anybody ever changed the tires on their own car?

I checked out the four tires on the car, and they're all different brands, with recommended pressures between 31 and 46 PSI, so that's definitely the next thing I want to do, but I'm wondering just how complex it is to install them.

Unfortunately more times than I want to remember. The first time really sucked. The stupid jack is stored in pieces in about 4 different locations around the vehicle. To make matters worse the stupid owners manual did not give the location of the jack's parts or how to use the stupid thing once you did find it. It was the most complicated jack I've ever seen. Now I carry around a Mack Truck jack I found at my old job. It is so much easier to use and safer.

Let me re-phrase, I think I said it all wrong. I don't mean putting the spare tire on, I'm talking about replacing the actual tires for the whole vehicle.

I'm having them put on Monday. 3nodding Got a new set of four Hankooks, they're rated B and B for braking distance and gas mileage, that's about as good as you can get without paying out the a**.
