The Pioneer is do for a new set of shoes and wondering if it's something I can do myself or do I need to take to a tire shop? None of the shops around me have decent tires so I'd like to order them from Rocky Mountain. Problem is I have to get the tires on. I've mounted and mounted heavy duty truck tires many times. Wondering if this is a job I can do myself without damaging the stock aluminum wheels. I do have tire irons for heavy duty tires, bead blasting tools along with a big compressor. Thoughts?

yes mounting the tires is as easy as semi tires just take smaller bites working the last bead around the rim

Chiropractor knows me well already, LOL!
All the more you want some kind of changer. Seriously, you dont want to want to do it without something. The changer puts the tire up waist high For setting the bead and
It also brakes the bead without fucing up the rim. You will find that u will use it for other projects. It stores easy as well!
the thing is $50 right now! I paid $100 whn i got mine are u cheep or somethin? C’mon man! 🤣

PS better get them pics posted up! All kinds iof helo and no pics! If u need help with it ask
