      Good work!
      For the record, you did not change the tires
      You changed the wheels.
      Changing the tires means removing the old tires from the wheels and installing the new tires back on the wheels.
      It's HARD to get these small tires off and on to these small wheels.

      If you have a car with a jack that jack will usually work. Just find a solid place to place it on the mower frame. (And the ground, too.) Chocking the diagonal tires is also more than reasonable. When your done with that one stop by. (Just a heads up, some don't have cotter pins - they might have snap clip if you have a different make/model.)
