Unless you've done it before, or have seen it done, it is extremely difficult to mount ATV tires.
And that's just half the battle.
You need massive amounts of air pressure to "pop the beads" on ATV tires.
Can't do it with a bicycle air pump, electric air pump, or air lines that gas stations offer to their customers.
No screw driver or tiny tire iron will install them.
You need big ones like these:

they are extremly hard to mount without a machine save yourself the hassle and possible some skin let the dealership mount the tires
most tire stores will also mount the tires

they are fairly easy to mount but you may have to put some protective covering on the bead so you dont mar the wheel. if all else fails you can take them to a tire repair shop or service station and im not sure where you are but here in montana it cost me 5 dollars to mount all four on mine. good luck

Company drivers do not carry spares. A service comes out (with a spare) and changes them. Owner operators sometimes carry 1-2 spares.
