Doug is correct pull the tires. Â*You can do it yourself with two big

your rims/tires get bigger. Â*Should be no problem on a utility
trailer.

Check this guy out...Looks like a truck tire. 49 seconds. No air in or
out but still pretty darn quick.
I used to do tire changes - remove from car, dismount old, remount
new, and reinstall, in 6 minutes flat (24 minutes to change 4 tires).
I was a younger man then.
