Im sure its possible but damn you need to be stronger then superman to do that. I worked at Sears auto changing tires and let me tell you that its not all the machines to mount them. You basically do it, the machines make sure youll be safe. Even then the machines arent enough to help you and you need 2 or 3 people (usually monster truck tires)
