The Firestone dealer I bought the new tires at had a master set of keys. Might be worth making a few calls to local tire stores to see if any have a master set of keys.

Got into the car and drove to a tire place and they did it for free for me. I made sure to tip the guy who helped me. roe 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG
