Merry Christmas all. WE are now in pan handle of Florida nice and warm . We left the cold snow of the Great laqke region and as we were going we stopped and I ckecked the tires. Lo and behold the side walls on each tire had little tumors at least 10 per side. My wife got on the Meggelan and located tire shop allong our route and no won had what we were looking for in stock. Finaly we stoped for gas at an exit that had a Discount tire. All they had was some china bomb carliale brand and a brand from Japan called Landair HT. They were allitle bigger than original but they fit. ( may have to modify the fender alittle but they should work( LT235 85r16). When I was at the dealer they wanted to jack up from the axle. I Told them no way . They didnt have a jack big enough to jack from the frame.So I had a 12 ton jack with me so I offered to jack it in there parking lot. They would not let me do that so they said If I go to the wallmart lot next door and jack it up they would send a couple guys over and get the tires and mount balance and bring back. So that is what happened, they sure gave me alot of grief about not letting them jack from the axle. Any way I hope these tires give me more time and peace of mind. I should say the china bombs were goodyear marathons.
