Spare Tire Crane?

Spare Tire Crane?
Possibly.
My simple approach to tires on the coach is this. Tires are a major expense on a
coach. This is how I approach it, for good or for bad.
First determine what your major vise is. It may be beer(mine)bottled water,
cigars, coffee, candy etc. No matter the vise, you spend more than $2.00 per day
on it. Just cut the vise spending by $2.00 day, put the cash in the bus safe and
after 5 years you have a brand new set of tires. It will not be painful and you
do not need a spare. Check it out.
$2.00x30x12=$720x5=$3600
Change tires every five years. There is no guarantee that spare hanging on the
roof in the sun for 5 years is worth a damn anyway.

to find a new tire (Mexico or Alaska come to mind) I might consider putting
one on the roof.
