It really snowed, and it was a blizzard, a rare blizzard, which caught people by surprise, and most cars didn’t have time to change their snow tires.
According to the experience of previous years, I am in no hurry to change the snow tire, because most of the first snow in winter can not stand and will melt. So when the first snow falls at the beginning of winter, people gather together to change the snow tyres, and they can’t change them until after work or even at night. I was waiting for the people who had finished changing the snow tyres with the mentality of watching the hustle and bustle. Only a few days after the snow melted off on the road, I felt that the snow tyres had changed early. Then I graciously changed the snow tyres without having to pile up before the second snow fell.
Unexpectedly, the first snow in winter was a blizzard. It was 40 to 50 centimeters thick. It had been blizzard for two days. I didn’t dare to drive a train in the past two days. There was ice under the snow on the road, and it was very smooth. I saw that cars were stuck on the road. I feel that driving in the northeast in winter, how important the snow tire is!
The snow stopped today. The weather forecast has no intention of heating up. I’m afraid my experience is not good. I’m afraid I have to stop this snow. Looking at the cars on the roadside parking spaces that are covered with snow and unable to move, there must not be too many cars in the tire shop to change the snow tyres. Simply, change the snow tire.
No matter what I think, there will be more cars to change snow tires just after snow, and there will be a row number phenomenon. I tried to find an unknown small tire shop, presumably without a row number. The master told me that because the road surface wet wheel hub is also too wet to touch lead, so I can change the tire can not do dynamic balance. Wouldn’t it be necessary to toss the tires again to do dynamic balance. I immediately gave up the idea of changing a tire in his house and went to this big store where I used to go, a shop with a relatively high professional standard of car tires in our city.

That’s not bad. There aren’t many cars to change tires. I can’t believe I was able to change them in the first place.

This is what I got when I took part in the activity after sitting idle for a whole summer. I ran all winter last year, and the pattern was in good condition.

The master was very quick with his hands, and then unloaded the tires.

After running for a whole summer, the four Seasons tires are going to be laid off again. The Prius Knight Man, which was equipped with the original car, has long been abandoned. This is all replaced by the car, and the degree of tire wear is also a little serious.

The original car is equipped with 255/45/R20 tires, but my fat man is 255/40/R20, so the tire wall is thinner and the ground clearance is smaller.

Tires are an important part of a car. How ugly should a car be without shoes?

I like the tail of my Harvard H7 very much. The design looks good.

Put on the means, unload the tire ~

I like this configuration in the car best, tire pressure sensor, simple and practical.

The master was very responsible and found a screw in the removed tire. No wonder the tire pressure showed that the co-driver’s tire was short of air these days. It was the fault of this screw. Stick it on.

Pull out the screw, the master stuffed the plastic plug in the hole, and then polished the leak with a grinding wheel ball on the inside of the tire.

Apply glue, blow dry ~

It’s done.

Install a snow tire on the hub.

Maybe the original car is equipped with a wall thickness of 45, while the fat man’s snow tire is 40, which leads to a poor fit between the tire and the wheel hub, which makes it difficult to inflate, which increases the difficulty for the masters.

This is the part where I just wanted to change the tire in a small tire shop where they said they could not do it. My concept of dynamic balance is not to be fooled. If the car does not do dynamic balance, it will shake when it runs. The master here will use paper towels to wipe the wet place on the inside of the wheel hub to the extent that it can be glued to lead. The same thing, different attitude, the result is different, change the tire, but also have to go to the regular store.

It is this kind of lead, which is used to balance the center of gravity and make the wheel run smoothly.

If the value is the same, the dynamic balance will be stable.

The process has come, the tires get on the bus.

Does Harvard H7 have a lot of energy in his shoes?

When the snow tire is finished, according to my car habit, I also need to check the next four-wheel positioning, which is ignored by most people, but I care very much that the intact four-wheel positioning and front bundle will keep the car from running, run smoothly and increase the service life of the tire.

Four-wheel positioning also requires means ~

The master got into my car and locked the steering wheel.

And then pick up the wrench and start adjusting the screws.

The value is getting closer and closer.

The master said that my habit of doing four-wheel positioning frequently is very good. Some car owners do not do four-wheel positioning for a long time, and it will be difficult to adjust after the adjustment screws are rusty.

Got the teacher’s praise, the heart is happy, on the way back, the car driving in the snow will be no pressure, this winter will be easier.
