You are going to do them yourself? That's one heck of a tire to be mounting in the garage, or do you have access to a machine?

Na bud, it's the only way to do light duty tires this size. I had my 42" swampers 16.5 rim down to roughly 15 minutes per tire to mount and about 5 minutes to dismount
225's.....you win. I thought mine was ghay-est, but I'm not alone...........

just a heads up those wheels are set up to mount the tire from the back.

you try to lift a 44 up onto a tire machine. they are not only heavy but very awkward to handle. I worked in a commercial tire shop where we mounted tractor trailer tires on the floor. We mounted monster truck tires on the ground with nothing more then bars and a few well placed kicks. just gotta know what you are doing.

I guess, maybe some lighter fluid and a match too.

I guess you've never mounted a tire before...
It is much easier to mount a large tire like that by hand.... Not even remotely difficult

No I haven't. I will have to do it soon enough though. I am deciding on what to order, TSL's, more Baja Claws or something like the Toyo's.

this is why people get hurt. Please never try to mount tires by yourself until you have gotten some instruction. the best tool out there IMO is a cheetah. its an air tank with a large nozzle that you can blast air in the bead just like a tire machine does.

It was a joke, I was kidding.
I might do some stupid things in the learning process but I won't light my new tires on fire, thats for sure.
Didn't Branndon do that last summer? He had a video and it looked like it worked great, lol.

Ether works but i'm not so sure about lighter fluid 
....anyways it's dangerous don't do it buy a Cheetah and help support MY local community 
the guy who patented the cheetah lives here in Alamogordo . Anyways stay away from flammables when mounting your tires if your lucky the Tire will pop back on the bead if your not.............
Btw burnt hair stinks man I HATE 16.5'S

spray ether is what I use. not lighter fluid. I've never heard of a cheetah. I've done my old 42" swampers like that a bunch of times. Just gotta meter it correctly, start small and step up till it seats. But you have to quickly chase the bead pop with compressed air. or the flame depletes the oxygen in the tire an sucks the tire back OFF the bead. it doesn't really burn.....it must explode to seat the tire. thats why spray ether really does it. its the ultimate trail fix beadseater too.

Seating beads with a blast of ether isn't dangerous......dismounting a tire on a split rim incorrectly is dangerous, like deadly dangerous.
and friggooon.....some people gotta work sometimes. I'll get 'em done I just got home
