When I stated out as a kid I work at a gas station with only 2 bays. All tire work was done outside on the ground all year long.

Using two el cheapo floor jacks placed under opposite tires; front right and rear left ....... remove both wheels and reinstall to opposite corner.

Ditto this again ....... on opposing two wheels ...... front left and rear right.

This should be doable?

With just one jack, is not doable, but with two jacks, is doable. Is good to chock the two tires that stay on the ground, so the chocks face each other.

Hey Biggd ...... in your fifty years working on tires ..... you must have done this, somewhere, without a lift!

You know that Tire Warehouse in Laconia has no lift, and will use four floor jacks for each car, but not the $30-el cheapo floor jacks from Walmart.

The internet says it only costs $2.50 to get each tire rotated at Walmart but I don't believe it ...... is too low price to be true!
