printemps2001 is infamous around these parts
swapping to summer wheels/tires
I've decided it will be far easier to swap out to my summer wheels and tires myself than lugging them to a service facility. That said, does anyone have any suggestions? I'll buy a low profile 2 1/2 ton floor jack. Does anyone know the correct torque to tighten the lug bolts? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Ed: See Rennlist forum today (Thurs), as Edgy (Dan) posted some photos and provided some advice on changing your own wheels.

Good Advice, as usual Dan is on it. I want to trade jobs with him, his wheel wells are way too clean!
