Can anyone loan me some car dollies?

I am helping my dad with a car that hasn't moved for the better part of 10+ years. I need to roll it out of the garage so I can jack it up to change the tires. I have enough room to raise each corner and put a dolly under it. I just need them for a day. Once I get new tires on it, the car will roll easier. Please inbox me or email me at jebbrookshire at gmail.

Something like this is what I am looking for:

I just need them for a day either Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanks!

Dumb question, but have you just tried airing up the tires? Those dollies don't really roll very well in my experience, and you'd probably have better luck on aired-up dryrotted tires...

They roll OK, not great. You still have to push. I used them so I could fit 3 cars in a 2.5 car garage and be able to push the Miata sideways without doing a 546 point turn. Tires if they hold air would probably work just as well.

I am not going to risk injury or catastrophic tire failure. I am pretty sure the tires are 15 years old and bias ply. While I know the dollies may not be the easiest thing, I think they will be far safer than a potential tire failure.
