Agree with above smaller they are the harder! Probably need to watch utube video on lawn tractor tires removal Similar to GC rims see if you want to attempt this?
It will be harder getting the old tires off than putting the new ones on. Probably at minimum need vise, big dead blow hammer, WD40, and 3 medium to large long screwdrivers would be nice. The vise along with long punch holes the rim in one of the mount holes or the center hole if small enough and vise grips holes the rim to the punch clamped down where the rim and the punch meets so the rim won't flop around.
the wd40 seeps between the rim and the tire bead to allow easy break down of the tire from the rim more is better than less (may have to use the BFH to get it started off the rim). With the tire bead broken off both sides and the side your not trying to pry off the rim pushed to the smaller inner part of the rim you can start prying the tire off the rim using the three screwdrivers. Usually only takes two but one has to be left between the tire and rim till you get tire bead starting to slip off the rim without slipping back under the rim.
Once you get one side of the tire off the rim the rest is easy. Again as suggested may just be easier to got to wally world and pay few buck to have it done. I only do it cause I know how and beings I still working don't take the time to have it done.
