I mount all my tires myself. I have a tire machine at my house that I bought in an auction. Without a machine it would be nearly impossible with stiff wall tires.

Yup. I have access to the machine at school(autoshop). But it's impossible without one.

I do it almost every day at work with the Hunter machine.



Without a machine?

I doubt it would be possible to do without really ******* up the wheels. Our machines have rubber and plastic coatings on any surface that touches the wheels.

Haha, ROFLMAO!!!

Are you joking? Without a machine, you would need some thin flexable tire sidewalls and be able to bench 500lbs - Little exageration, but not much...
