Default Buying Tires

Let's say, you buy your tires and rims at a shop.
You get them changed there.
How do you bring the tires/rims back home?

one/two at a time? Or can you actually fit 4 at once?

Pick them up with a spacious car and then change them out at home

I think the only way to transport wheels/tires in this car is to stuff 1 in the trunk and then stack the remainder in the passenger side after removing the seat.

I put them in my S

Either remove the passenger seat, or leave it in and put one wheel/tire in the trunk and the rest on the passenger side. *


*Leave passenger at home

I have a small trailer I tow behind the S2000 and use to haul an extra set of tires to the track. It also works for this purpose, if necessary. I did it once.

But usually I just toss the tires into the Element and swap them on/off the car at home.

One time I asked the guys who mounted my tires to bring them directly to the track. Since I didn't have my little trailer with me, I now had two sets of wheels and one S2000. But my dad lives nearby and has an F250, and so he was willing to take the extra set of wheels home for me. We were heading out to a baseball game immediately after the track day anyway, so this was pretty much "on the way" for both of us.
