That all depends on whose car i am fixing and if they even have a spare.
My person abest is two minutes but that was a small car with a two ton jack, a spare and a T wrench.
On the opposite side I spent four hours changing two tires, vonventional jack and only one spare so i had to go buy the other tire at the only place that was open at 12:30 AM on a Monday morning. Plus, I had to drive to where the flat happened on the side of a freeway and push the car to a parking lot where i could do the changes.

Are you talking about changing tyres or wheels? They're very different. You don't "tighten" tyres, they're fitted onto the wheel and held in place by air pressure. All car wheel nuts should be tightened to the "torque" specified in the owner's manual. The wheel brace supplied with the car will normally provide enough leverage for an average person to tighten the wheel nuts to a fairly safe level. A reasonably large man can often tighten the nuts adequately first time. If you change a wheel at the roadside you should drive carefully to a garage and get them to check the nuts for correct tightness. They won't charge much for this. If you over-tighten them then it's possible for a stud to be weakened and eventually shear off. This can be hazardous, I've seen it happen! In practice garages use a pneumatic wheel brace that looks a bit like an electric drill. These have torque-setting clutches on them to prevent over-tightening, but it does happen in some sloppy workshops. The diameter of the Space Saver spare wheel is the same as those of the ordinary wheels. They are often slightly narrower, which is why you are limited to 50 mph when driving on one.

Mechanically, I'd say about 10-15 minutes, but MAGICALLY, I could do it in the blink of an eye!

I don't understand the question. "...mechanically" - is there another way?
Anywho, on my old 78 Carolla hatchback I could change a tire in under 3 minutes.

Depends on what tools you have to use. A NASCAR pit crew can do it a whole lot faster than I can with my jack and tire iron....maybe 2 minutes the normal way?
