Thanks to all for your suggestions and observations. The tire change went smoothly, and I feel fortunate to have dodged a tire issue with the Goodyear Marathons. One of the tires I took off had cord shift noticeable only from inside the tire!

I ended up jacking up each side, then using the leveling jacks to maintain the tires above the ground. Although my manual says to avoid lifting the unit off the tires with the jacks (something I can't figure out) it works just fine.

I adjusted the brakes and jacked up the TM to take the weight off of the tires. One jack stand on each side just behind the wheel works great.

Advantage Tire in Anniston, AL did the three Maxxis ST225/75/R15 LR D for $315 with metal valve stems, mount and balance. I thought it was a great deal and jumped on it before any price increase.
