If you are anywhere it gets below 32F in winter for any length of time, your tires are filled with a Calcium Chloride solution to prevent freezing.
There will be anywhere from 225-350lbs of liquid in each tire depending on the size of the tire, and how full it is. My range is based on 11.2x28 to 13.6x28 tires. Overall you are looking at weights of 400-500lbs including tire, rim, and ballast.
You will not be able to handle them by yourself and get them into the truck without a hoist or a tractor with a loader.
Ideally they should be drained of liquid before you remove them from the tractor. I suspect Les Schwab will take one look at the tires and say, "W-T-F are we supposed to do with these?"
Hindsight being 20/20, you should have addressed the leaking IMMEDIATELY. It is very likely that your rims are shot, and will need to be replaced. After sandblasting there will be many holes.
