I've personally changed tires 6-feet-tall and weighing 100s of pounds on John Deere tractors, and it can be done. But you need proper equipment and know how to do it safely.
One of the reasons I like an Axis/Vegas is the lighter tires and rims, and tires that are cheaper and easier to find -- being that they are pickup and van size. I only wish for a slightly smaller motorhome with single rear wheels, which would make rotation and tire changes that much easier.

Unfortunately, when you have single tires on the back, you really limit the size and weight. Even my 22' Class C had duals. You are really limited to a van conversion. That was out first RV (Pleasureway) and we loved it for three years. But if you want/need bigger, you almost have to have duals.
