An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

This was a bit sudden, I was planning on doing it next weekend, but I saw snow forcast and didn't want to risk having to use my thrashed summer tires on snow.

This was the last season that I could use those summer tires, the tread was almost used up and there was some dry cracking of the rubber, so I am ordering new Pirelli's for the next season.

First time doing it completely on my own!

Takes time, but with a funny space disaster podcast playing on a bluetooth speaker it got done quickly enough

Do you need any equipment to do this job?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I needed a hydraulic jack, lug wrench, a steel pipe, and a few blocks of wood.

Nice. I thought tires might need some kind of sealant inside, but glad to know that you don't need that.

Ah, think I understand the confusion, when we say winter tires in Sweden unless we are talking about buying new rubber tires, we mean the whole wheel assembly, rim+tire.

In Minnesota we say "snow tires," so I figured "winter tires" meant the same thing.

I am a sweet summer child so I didn't think that people have a second set of wheels at their home in a garage. That makes sense though, if you have the space for it.

I just have all season tires and one set of wheels, and that's all I realistically need around here.
