Just to stir the tire pot....

[Larry Dill]

Scott,
Why didn't you ask the tire dealer to buy them off you??? When I replaced the
tires on my coach, I asked them before I made the purchase, what would you give
me for the carcass??? They told me they would give me $50 each, I said sold!!!

I left them there. Interestingly enough, they were not the regular

highway treads, but rather the deeper square "drive" treads like one

might find on a dump truck. Don't know why the previous owner had

those on there, he must have got a deal at some point. Frankly, I

don't care what they do with them, I just want to forget about the

cost of replacing them.
