My tire change at the dealership is faster than this Mike

Amazing! Are the new tires kept warm/hot or does the driver leave with cold tires?

^^ Kept warm in what is basically a heated blanket.

Cool find Mike in CA. Amazing how fast these guys are. I watched the Mercedes video, of them repeating over and over the stop..... I'm trying to picture in my head being part of the wheel gun crew, and not sure my hands can be as quick as these guys.

Thanks for posting, Mike! Maybe Porsche can get the Mercedes pit crew guys to go to the Port of Houston to change out the heat exchanger bracket bolts for JB991's car and mine so the cars can get released to the dealer ASAP.

If they can make a gun like that for the GT3 CL, it would be awesome...

I must be going to the wrong dealer.

Just as JB991 says. I read that the electric warmers heat the tire to about 80 degrees Celsius or almost 180 degrees F.

I love the way each guy seems so relaxed, yet so quick in his motions.

That *would* be awesome!
