Ever use a car dolly to help mount wheels?

That's too much work, there is an easy way we used to mount 2.5 & 5 ton truck tires in the Army. Just lay a long breaker bar on the ground in line with and perpendicular to the center of the wheel hub, roll the tire and wheel up onto the bar as close to the hub as possible, until centered on the hub, then just grab the end of the bar and lift the wheel up with the bar holding it with the other hand and it will slide right on the hub. I use this method to re-mount my 19.5" 100lb RV tires, and I am 73. What was that Atlas said about a lever and a fulcrum?
OH!! and I have a tailgate damper, dampner. tailgate slower downer thingies

You can always get one of these.

I've definitely done it with the breaker bar, but all I have to do is drop the wheel on the dolly and roll it over. Leave it low and raise it to the lugs and I can rotate the wheel to line it up. I've done this for a few rotations now on my wife's car and the Ranger and it goes pretty damn fast now. Keeps my hub rings from popping off too
