Mounting and dismounting a lawn tractor tire can go easy or be a real PIA.
Gather two very large flat screwdrivers, or better yet, a pry bar. Place the tire on the rim at angle so that one side drops over the rim. Place a screwdriver on one side between the tire and rim to stop the tire from coming of as you begin working the tire on with the second tool. Simply use the pry bar and work your way around the tire. The closer you get to completion, the more difficult it will be to pry the tire over the rim. You may need a third pry tool to place between the tire and rim on both sides as you work the tire on. You can also use a hammer to assist, with a tool on opposite sides to hold the tire from coming back off, then use the hammer and hit the bead of the tire to work it on while moving the holding tool forward as you progress.
Hint: Use dish washing liquid to liberally lubricate the tire and rim around the bead. This will dramatically reduce the effort to get the tire on.
Once you have done it a couple times, you will find it to be a pretty simple task...most of the time.
