I took my 5T in to have the tires changed and the truck tire store did
the whole thing for $315 out the door. That's dismounting, swapping
rubber, remounting. That includes the spare, too. They did it by hand,
just using the old fashioned tire hammer, and so on. I think that is
reasonable for 11 big tires. Jim
