Removing one side tires

[traildog]

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?

They don’t have the space for my RV.

Go to a different tire store. Even if it's a few bucks more, well worth if for saving the hassle of running back and forth.

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

They won't sell you new tires and install them???? I would look for another Tire store.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Avoid the hassle:) just take the trailer into the tire shop and buy tires and let them remove and install tires.
