There is a jack on the bottom of the cars that raise them up when the tires are changed.
The smaller one is not a fule hose... it is an air jack to lift the car off the ground so that the tires can be changed.
Indy cars do not use camshafts. They use electric solenids to open and close the valves.
20" tires are the largest tires for your car if you of course don't have any lift kits..
By using leverage, it allows you to lift a 1 or 2 ton car. Have you tried lifting a car by hand without a jack? And you DO need to lift the car to change a tire.
It is possible to rotate your car's tires by using individual jacks on each end of the car. However, using a lift makes the process go much faster and safer.
The front of an Indy car is called the Nose.
Yes. Tires get hotter when speed is increased causing more wear. Example- Racing car tires wear out very quickly because of speed combined with high heat. Indy cars and cars used in Nascar may only get a few laps before needing changing. Addition: The effect isn't as drastic on passenger tires but speed does effect wear.

Yes, I have seen a mechanic use a car lift every time I get the tires rotated or the oil changed. All they have to do is drive the car onto the lift and raise it to bring the car off the ground to a convenient working height.
