I have to change a 13" tubeless trailer tire (Loadstar 550 ST175 5/80 D).
I
ordered just the tire. I am planning on using the existing galvanized
wheels.

I imagine there is a trick to using the tire irons.

Should I attempt this by hand or should I take it to a garage?

Thanks from Rick


You could do it probably with tire irons, but I'd take it to a garage and
have them swap the tire on the rim. They can balance the tire for you as
well while you're there.

You can also have them dispose of the old tire properly for you. It is a
crime these days to toss tires in the trash, and as of a couple years ago
they started tracking tire serial numbers.
