Boy, is this nice to have in the garage. Change tires any damn time I want.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you "shop owners" and serious DIY guys anything about this.
Here's an over view, and some aluminum boat bias (as always)

Back in the days that I lived in Valdosta GA. I would change 3 or 4 tires a Saturday morning in prepping my Dirt Track Race Car (Sportsman class at the old Thounderbowl Speedway) the old fashion way; Tire Irons, Rubber Mallet, home made Bead Breaker and Starter Fluid. It was hell getting those soft Hooser 10" wide tires onto a 12" wide rim. I had the same look as you Shorts and a T shirt with the sweat stains and all. Hot and Humid you can have. Today it was 63 Degrees at 1 pm and 70 at 5 pm. Dang near perfect weather.
Around here we have Les Schwab tire stores that will mount the tires for free if you buy them from them. Now Balancing them will cost $12. But its for lifetime (the Tires not yours)
Ps Your shop is too clean dude.

We'll have that perfection weather come November.
I can hardly wait.
Too bad my trailer tires wouldn't make till then. ALL my major catastrophies happen in the 100 degrees, always!
