The Tyre Change Challenge puts you in a virtual roadside environment with nothing more than a toolkit and your wits. Here you’ll have to use your brain to unscrew a locking wheel nut and fit a fully inflated tyre. Sound easy? You’ll also have to contend with a ticking timer and a whole host of sneaky red herrings.

If you only need one tyre changing, your car should be ready in around 20 minutes, give or take (with our car service). But it’s often wise to replace them in pairs, so that you have new tyre tread on both sides of your vehicle. This gives you the most balanced drive. The tyre type and size will also affect how long it takes to replace it.
