<VV> Speaking of tires...

[N. Joseph Potts]

I think this would be interesting, particularly if you could identify a
present-day source for the tools(s) in question.
     If a 10-year-old boy can change a 10 tire, I guess that means a
14-year-old might be required for the 14s on my Corsa. What size (if any)
could a 60-year-old change?

I'm considering writing up a little page for the Communique about the  lost
art of changing tires using tire irons.  Does this sound like  something
that
would interest you?  I got started on this back in the 70's  when a 10-year
old
Mexican boy at a tire shop in San Felipe changed the 10-31/15  tire on my
Dune buggy with nothing more than a couple of tire irons.  I  learned how to
do
it and used the technique for 20 years.  Considering the  cost at a tire
store
these days, it could be a fit for us. Please let me know  your thoughts one
way or the other.  I won't take offense if you aren't  interested.
