If you are going to buy a new set of tires (stock is 16.5")
it may be a good time to consider an upgrade to the more
modern 16" wheel and tire.
If you don't have them already the Alcoa's really
are a nice improvement in lower weight
and better looks.
For your drive home; check your brakes and take your time.

I know that there was considerable comment on "favored"
tires for our coaches. I am traveling to New Braunfels, TX
on Sunday to bring our new buggy home to Oklahoma City.
The eBay auction showed a picture of a front tire with
lots of tread, but that is only 1 of 6 or 7. I don't
know how old the existing tires are. I wish to be fully
prepared to fork out for a new set if the existing tire
are too ancient to trust for a ~500 mile trip home.
I distinctly recall that "steel" sidewalls were really
discouraged. I'd like some brand/model recommendations.
Many thanks in advance.
