The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Removing side mount tires-how ??

I (like CarlG) have Firestone 475/500 19 inch tires. I keep the spare's pressure at 20 psi. This lets me remove either spare from the wheel wells. The owner did the same bolt mounting modification tip that Gary suggested. I figure that 20 psi will get me to a service station for air without destroying the rubber. Driving a Model A (like living well) is not a race to the finish line.

I found a scissors jack that fits in the front mounted tool box and keep a ten inch 4" x 4" block of treated wood also. This lets me lift the axle off any surface to get the tire free for changing.
