I've never bought any tires at a tire store, well ag tires excluded. I get all my tires online from either Tire Rack or an online seller. Tires are like batteries, volume sellers turn over inventory quickly so you get newly made tires, not dusty sitting in the corner ones.

O mount my own as well (ag tires not included again), so no problem with tire jockeys either. I'm the tire jockey.

Tire mounting (and balancing) isn't rocket science, just takes the right tools, which I have.

Really, I would like you to make a short video of you pulling the Wheels and tires off your motorhome(especially if you have a Diesel) and replacing and balancing, those with your home tools. You must have an interesting shop and tools and be pretty strong and young. Doug

Actually, I do... Not exactly home tools, I own and operate a short run machine and fabrication shop. I happen to have a Coats 10-10 tire machine and a Blue Point spin balancer along with some other tire tools. Far as mounting and dismounting 10-22 or 11-24.5 or 24.5 low pro's, I do that with tire irons and it's all manual and it's not hard. With the proper tools and some common sense and rim lube any big tire can be mounted and dismounted easily. I'm 68 and it's no issue but then I'm not a couch potato either. Don't do ag tires because, unlike road on road tires, the tire beads are very strong and heavy and it takes a air operated bead breaker to dismount and mount and its easier to have that done by a specialized shop.

I sent you a pm in as much as posting my website on here is a violation of forum rules...
