Tires are on the trailer today but not without a bit of a ***** show.
Dropped wheels and tires and went to pick up some furnace parts. Proving switches and a hot surface ignitor. Furnace air proving switch has twitched twice and I was able to get it to work again for a short time. The HSI to have on hand because if I don't have one on hand, the damn thing will fail when it is minus 30 on a long weekend...
Back to get the tires. Guy gets the bead broken and the top one off the rim but his machine cannot get the bottom one off the wheel. They are short handed today and I can see the guy is pretty frustrated so I take the wheels and tires home and cut the bead still on the rim with my sawzall.
Peeled the old tires off and took the wheels back and got the new tires mounted without further issue.
Drove out and got them back on the trailer. Why does everything seem to take longer than it should?

The ramps are a great idea. Going to pick up some of the curved levelers here pretty quick. I did have the trailer in the air on jackstands overnight with all 4 wheels/tires off.
