Those 4 plys can be hard to mount. Not much stretch. I am not sure about the pieces of wood, unless you block them up and get some heat on them. Like setting them out in the sun for a while. Then the HF changer may work. If it were me, instead of going to all that trouble, I would take olds45512 advice and take them to the tire shop.
