315/80 vs 12R - was Overweight
Hi Bob,
I'm getting my XZA2's for around $600 through a tour bus operator. Many of them will gladly "add" tires to their next order to get a better discount and then just sell them to you. It has worked great for me. Most will mount and balance them too for another $30 or so. I usually remove the wheels myself and take the loose rims to their shop. They will remount then new tire on the rim for around $10.

Today it was pointed out that the left tag wheel had multiple cracks - some horseshoe from outer hole to inner back to outer. Not good. The local tire place had a lot of excellent used ones, so I replaced that wheel. Going to have a lot of work to get it looking as good as the other ones ![]() > > Don Bradner > > 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" > > My location: http://www.bbirdmaps.com/user2.cfm?user=1 > > > |
