The Discount tire thread seems the easiest. But put the tire as close as you can and do the crow bar under and tilt in. Thats the way I do it with the Busses that I install. Good luck

Default Heavy ass tires

You want to get nice and low, then lift suddenly in a jerking/twisting motion putting all the weight on your low back and testicles. When something
snaps, you know YOU'RE DONE!! Seriously, I sit on a low stool with the tire jacked only an inch or so off the ground. Then put a foot on each side
of the tire and let your feet lift by pivoting back on your heels. Just use your arms to line it up and push it on. (same as Tycho)

Good Luck

They wouldn't seem so heavy if you weren't trying to hold your skirt down with the other hand.

I was waiting for someone else to crack the ice so I could say to wait for your husband to come home and let him do it.

Do like I do...

After borrowing my neighbors charcoal grill (that he has fired up and ready, but has finished cooking on it) I ususally through him a few insults on how he could have made the charcoal hotter so my food would grill evenly... this throws him for a complete loop... he doesn't know what to say... so in this very moment, I say something like, "Hey, you got a minute?"... in his confusion he follows me over and I make him rotate the wheels while I work the air wrench!!

Man, I love my neighbor!!
