I need to replace 7 of my 16.5 tires on my 76 Eleganza. This motorhome was stored with new tires but they have dry rotted and I need to replace all of them. I will take 2 at a time because I need to replace 1 right now.

I've had good luck with the Firestones. I seemed to be able to find them both in South FL, AL, and TN when I've needed them so while they can be a pain, I don't think it's a crisis YET to use them.

Thanks,

jadfisch,

Are you looking for new or used tires?

It would be easier to help you if we knew where you are located.

Most of us put both coach info and location in the signature that is "auto-magically" added to the end of your post.

Welcome to "the net." Be sure and visit the "main section" of the forum. OBTW: "Emailers" do not ever see the swap meet section.
