So I needed to mount the new to me tires pockets are kinda tight so I called up a buddy who has a Harbor Frieght tire tool (thanks Mike) (Please dont flood him with request) Mike expressed how much of a PIA it was to mount his tires Me being the resourcefull little bugger that I am came up with a solution. A big thanks to sandiegoxj Mike for coming by and giving me a hand.
First picture is of the tool. It is designed to be secured to the floor for use.
