Need to lift a heavy tire for rotation and you are not strong enough?

In my experience this is entirely unnecessary. Occasionally it is difficult to get the wheel to line up with the lugs, and the solution is to simply put your butt on the ground, put your feet on either side of the tire, and raise the tire with your feet. As your eye is at wheel level, lining up the wheel with the lugs is easy. And the muscles of the lower leg are more than sufficiently powerful to easily lift the tire. A simple solution requiring only what God has given you to work with.
