You're welcome.

Back when a loaf of bread was slightly more important to me than paying
someone to remount tires, I would pick up used tires, remove the old ones
and mount the "new" ones myself, out in the driveway.

It can be done, though you'll definitely need a hot shower, a cold drink and
probably at least one Band-Aid afterward.  Very labor intensive.  Insanely
dangerous.

Other than that, it's great entertainment for the neighbors.  Kids just love
watching an adult jumping up and down on a tire trying to break the bead
with brute force.  Especially when you miss the tire coming down after a
rather energetic leap.

Or better yet, when you have a tire iron wedged into the bead, pried back
with all of your strength, and you inadvertently let go... flinging the tire
iron willy nilly across the driveway with enough force to impress a ninja.

Wear a helmet.
Hide your children.
Check your health insurance.

Get a horse.
