So who here does all of their own tire work?

I do my own tires as well but have only bought used. My truck doesn't see a lot of miles since it has a crane on the back.

Last time I went looking for new tires all the stores would sell them to me without mounting.

I'm no expert but if you change from steel/AL rims to AL/AL I think you will need longer studs to accommodate the thicker rims. My truck came with one steel outer. I had to get longer inner lug nuts when I replaced it with an AL rim to match the others.
