Tell me about it Geo .. :whatthe: Mine are 22.5 rims .. changing one requires a technique best practiced at home .. only done it once, fortunately on an aire and had many French hands making it light work.. :Cool:

A garden spade slid underneath the tyre makes it easy to lift to align the studs when refitting.

When I was looking for a place to carry mine someone suggested the roof , I got it up using a rope .. but decided it wasn't a good idea.. :RollEyes:

Made a carrier for the front, but that looked ugly so removed it then carried it for a while on top of the tow hitch strapped to the grill, but it was blocking the air flow from the engine, :Doh: so it's now hung from the main chassis with heavy duty cargo straps, same ones that are used by truckers to secure loads.. What it really needs is a proper carrier with a chain winch.

Where do you plan to carry yours, will it fit a locker ?

Hi Geo, Jane knows how heavy they are.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Years ago I did scrap with the lorry, and had more punchers than enough.:cry:

We had a big stack of tyres on rims, and Jane would fetch me one out on the trailer.::bigsmile::Smile:

:winky: Sometimes she would make me wait ages.............................. when she dropped it :roflmto: and could not pick it up.............................:winky: She had to get someone to help her.:RollEyes: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: She really liked the super single trailer wheels. :roflmto: Bob.
