No problem to you. It's a bitch to get them on and off. I had some small ass tires come in at Merchants the other day. PITA

i really dont think the guy had a hard time, he pulled the 225/45/18s off of my two wheels and put my two new 215/35/18's on in less than 30 minutes, he said the only hard part was getting my old tires off
