The easiest/cheapest way to change out your wheels all the time is to get a normal drill (like 18v) and a beam-type torque wrench. The torque wrench takes a 19mm deep socket (so the wrench clears the fenders), and the drill takes a 1/2" square socket adapter and then a normal 19mm socket. The drill will make it easier to get each lug nut past the 10 or so turns on and off.
Also, I put a dab of anti-sieze on each wheel stud.

These tires are much much better than my all seasons were. Huge difference. I got a much better idea of things I am strong at and things I am weak at. I really have to work on slowing down for the slow sections. I understeer far too much.
