I need to take the tires off of my TT (preferably 2 at a time) to take them to the tire store for replacement.The store won’t remove them (an quite frankly, I’m ok with that). So, how can I lift one side at a time safely, to remove the tires?2021 Coachmen Freedom Express with a wide gap between the tires.

He said they won’t do that. I would get a couple of blocks and put them in front of the front wheels, pull forward till the back wheels were off the ground. Remove, get new tires, replace and back off. Now do the same for the front wheels. Loosen the nuts while it is still on the ground.

I would look for another Tire store.

I use a home built wood ramp. I suggest you remove one tire and replace with the spare. Remove the other tire again using the ramp and proceed to the tire store. Reinstall the two new tires. Repeat on the other side.

If you are going to do all 4 why not just do one axle at a time. Just run one axle up on a ramp,then the other.

I do business with America's Tire. All my vehicles. My class C got a full set of tires not long ago, and they did all the removal, mounting, balancing and install in one trip. I also paid for the insurance, and collected a new tire on two vehicles due to road debris damage.

I see a lot of post on this board suggesting the one wheel on blocks to remove other wheel.
I tried that and with all the weight of one side on one tire I bent the axle.

Mythoughts too. I understand there are shops that simply don't have the room.
However there are alternative shops that do have ample room.
Seek those larger places out and take your rig there.

Put the spare on one and leave the other on the jack. Or even better.... find a different tire store.
