For those of you with winter tire & rim setups...
do you change your own wheels when winter comes around, or do you have a shop do it?
I think it would be pretty simple to just jack up one tire at a time and swap them.

He's as bad as Can
Very easy to do
With the right tools you can do all four wheels in less than 40 minutes.
21mm ½ drive deep socket
12 “ long Breaker Bar in ½ drive
a large 4-way lug nut wrench
Torque wrench ½ drive
Any low cost floor jack with this on it from http://www.eastwoodco.com

Thank you for that bit of information. I have my winter wheels in storage, and I guess I was concerned about the wheels possibly getting out of balance due to handling, use, etc. It appears I was just over paranoid about how easy it would be to get a tire out of balance.
