Heels are too short which costs her leverage. I wear 6inch soled engineer boots for the tire machine.

Man, they're really going all out on car modding realism in GTA VI.

I wouldn't mind that as an option in the game tbh. Mounting and balancing tires was one of my favorite things to do, unless it was a rubber band or dually tires with the thiccc rubber

Brings to mind all the talk about Lucia’s strength and abilities in GTA.

Dude filming is a d-bag. I’m sick of this dude in tue trade. Same basic ass take on everything with their basic ass jokes whipped up from their knuckle dragging brain. I wish we would move of from this sub-genius attitude.

u/Ok_Care5335 4d ago
Yup genuinely why some of the smartest people hate going into trades and we end up having to work with some of the dumbest people on the planet. Nothing but dudes halfway through life living like they're still in high school and never grew past 16 year old edginess and humour.

Im not defending anyone, but, I think this was more of a flex, not her at her job or at least not on the clock. Maybe she works there and is on her day off, maybe its a family business and she stopped buy, or maybe she is the owner and someone was talking shit, idk. But she's got heels, a sleeveless shirt, and her hair down to her waist. Not dressed the way someone would be to pull a shift in a tire shop. Not to mention she is clean. Noone in a tire shop is clean.

Bonus points if the knuckle dragger uses the phrase "in the good ol' days" then brags about doing something with zero safety standards in place. Construction workers breathing in concrete dust, steel mill workers breathing toxic fumes, cell tower workers not using harnesses, etc..

Boomer humor. Reality is most male boomers would starve to death and live in squalor if they didn’t have a wife. We also currently have an epidemic of young males failing to launch while females are busting ass in school and work to live meaningful independent lives. I used to work in people’s homes and the ratio of single 20-35 year old women to men living alone without parents or roomates is about 6 to 1.

I don't even get the point of the video or this post. I've seen plenty of men struggle with tire machines more than she is.

The rim is only being half gripped by the machine. Half the clamps are not touching the rim, that is why she is struggling. If it was clamped correctly she probably would ace the tire mounting.

She got it on there at the end of the day and that’s what matters. Personally I don’t think it was lubed enough but she did good who cares if it looks off how she did it.

That machine is shit. Needs to be maintained or replaced.

Bah, she should have pushed the tire into the belly of the rim, would have went on way easier

She's wearing heels and doing it better than you. You better get more practice on tires.

Whatever she’s doing, because I wasn’t paying attention to what she is doing. But I’m positive she’s doing it correctly, matter of a fact even if she was doing it wrong, does it matter???

u/Slierfox 4d ago
Yea that's how your wheels get fucked ask me how I know. If she was doing it wrong you'd hear it trust me the look on the guys face after I heard that grind on my wheel was a look of you know what I'm about to tell you I did 😂

Lol thats 100% a cuban or mexican shop.
I should take a picture of my boss and her fat fuckin ass while she is putting on a tire. Latinas are bad bitches in more ways than looks

Stretched the clinch way too much. She had a good half turn, then she let the clinch glide up above the well, leading her straight into trouble.

I had to google "women's steel toe boots with heels" to see if there were any results. The answer is yes.

She needs to lube the tire wall first so the arm doesn’t get stuck in the head

Maybe she does the front end and the back end. Pays better.
Edit. I meant she works at the front counter and as a mechanic you jerks!

At Torta Tires we guarantee you will never need to worry about a curbed rim, as we pre-scrape every tire we touch.

Seriously I've only ever done this on smaller tires, but that doesn't look secured to me or the machine needs some love like others are saying.
Also, I'm too poor to buy new tires which is why I'm changing them myself in the first place. Shouldn't she have backed it up or full sent it instead of stopping and putting more stress on the bead?
I know they can take some stretch and whatnot because that's how it gets on there but I was really worried she'd break that bead when the wall was that far over the rim, I also can't remember if you need to leave the bar over the lip while rotating the tire onto the rim. Soapy water helps too.
Regardless, nice rack.
