I got an old beater truck that I'm driving back and forth to work (small town Alberta) to keep the miles off my car. The tires on it are almost gone but I don't want to spend the money on brand new tires that might outlive the truck. I found a good set at the wreckers for a reasonable price.

My question is has anyone ever changed the tires on their vehicle, meaning taking the old ones off the rim and putting the new ones on the same rim. I know how to do it I'm just wondering how difficult it is without a tire machine. I realize I may still need to get them balanced afterward.
