You don't pick up the whole tire, You only pick up one side and roll it to the hub, then you stick a long screw driver under the tire and slip the rim on the hub. It's not about brute strength and ignorance, it about finesse. I will have to admit to slowing down every time I blow out on of those 76 BD candles. But I still provided all the grunt when I mounted and balanced my tires last year.

I bought 6 new rims for my motorhome had shop install new tires on rims, brought new tires/rims back home and installed all 6 in 3 hours back on my motorhome and torqued down the lug nuts, no help needed by anyone, its not that hard when you know what you are doing, oh and I did it on a rock pad/driveway, no cement.
However I was sore for a day or so after wards but changing a flat on the road, no issues here.
I also got 6 used rims/tires for sale if anyone needs them.;)
