Ouch! Maybe a regular tire shop could do the job for you? It's not like there is anything special about them. There has to be somebody that can do it for less than that.

Save your money and do it yourself with one of these. Even if you don't have Harbor Freight up there, you should be able to find one of these little tire changers somewhere. They get the job done, and you don't have to depend on anyone else.

So I read, and re-read the posts. I have no ideas re tires, other than wide tread, would be my thought. As far as a machine, the side by sides are nice, but heavier than ATV's and in muskeg that might not be what you need. When I was looking for a workhorse on my property, I went with a 4x4 ARCTIC CAT - mine is only a 400 as it was my first quad and I did not need more. Friends had speed (Yamahas, Hondas, Polaris etc), but I had power for towing 1000 lbs, weight for stability, and 12 inches clearance to go over things that my friends could only drive around. How often was I going to have a need for speed in excess of 95 kms / hr ? You probably want a larger cc machine (800 sounds good), but if there is an AC dealer nearby, check that out also.
