Good insights into my query, I am running 16' alcoas with Michelin XPS Rib. We do carry a 3ton bottle jack and some lightweight blocks but I have never tried lifting the front frame with it when the tire is deflated. Best to try that first. The front to back replacement could be tricky like was mentioned (lift the back pull the tire and set it on blocks then lift the front and replace the tire). Best of all a light weight narrow trailer tire could be the best guarantee to get me somewhere. I have space up under the tail end also. Would have to look into finding a rim with correct bolt hole pattern, a set of lugnuts since the alcoa rims use their own style nut and a tire that could take some amount of weight for a while after being stored for a century... Thanks, Bryan
