Yes, you read it right.
I'm not ready to scrap 7 tires that are less than 2 years old. I do really like carrying a good spare (and usable jack - another story).

If you have one that would like a good and loving home, let me know where and how much and I will come and get it.

We're sighed up for Tin Can Tourist, so I wasn't planing to be at Centerville.

Matt,
I have one I've been using for a spare that you can have. I have a spare aluminum wheel, so just need to get a tire mounted to it. I'm sure the tire on the steel wheel probably wouldn't hold the coach up at this point anyway. I'm up in Waterford. We could meet halfway somewhere if you wanted. PM me or e-mail at craig dot lechowicz at sbcglobal dot net.

How do i tell if they are good for radials?

Dave,
Matt stopped by today and picked up a wheel from me on his way to Tin Can Tourists in Milford, MI, which sounds like a fun event. He's even nicer in person than he is on the web!

Dave,
Thank you for the offer, others have been offered closer by.

There is a page on the one of the sites that shows the circle are near the part number that indicates it is a radial capable rim. As Craig's coach was new enough to be delivered I am hoping the rim I got from him is, but I will not know for sure until I get it cleaned up.

I hope someone will read this and attach a link to that page. I would if I was home, but you can not easily migrate a Firefos
profile to a Win7 box.
