I will mount the tire myself. Should not be a real problem. I have already put one on the the wheel and was able to push the oute rim on and start a couple of nuts. The only trick is to make sure that the valve stems are as towards the outside of the wheel to clear the rotors on the Helitool disk brakes. You have to slice the flap slightly to do this. I did it on my PW rims that are currently mounted on the Carryall.
It will be interesting to see how badly they are out of balance. I will hopefully take the Carryall to a truck tire dealer who can spin balance them on the truck. However, I had my PW wheels bubble balanced and they are very smooth on the road unless one is a little low on air. What ever happens I expect the Carryall to gain a couple of pounds in lead.
