how long does it take to replace tyres

Swapping four tyres usually takes 45–90 minutes, including fitting and balancing—about the length of a coffee and a brag about fuel economy.

Add a proper wheel alignment and you’re looking at another 30–60 minutes.

Just one tyre? Often 20–30 minutes, unless your wheels are auditioning for a rust exhibit.

On busy Saturdays the queue can be the real villain, so book ahead and let the pros get it done while you practice not curbing them again.
