Trying To Get The Tires On

Rick found tires on Craigs List. One new and four used. So on Monday we tried to have the tires mounted and balanced for the short bus. We were told that they couldn't put them on because the used tires were to dry rotted and we needed to buy new ones. They mounted the new tires on the front and one used one on the back blown one but wouldn't touch the others because of "insurance reasons". Today we decided to mount them ourselves. They did come off easy enough with a couple of pry bars. Getting the one was just as easy until it came time to fill them with air. Little to my knowledge they weren't so tight to the rim. Makes it hard to fill them with air like that and everything we tried didn't work. Rick and Landon both had heard of a way to get the set on the rim but neither had actually done it before.



Here are the pictures of us changing the tires.




































As you can see from the video it reminded me a little of those Fourth of July videos where everything has a high potential to go wrong.
