Hi there from sunny El paso. I checked out Manuels new coach in Las Cruces and it appears he is going to buy it.
The problem is the tires. The coach has steel wheels and needs tires. He is concerned the tires he buys to get home will not work when he puts Alcoas on it. Any ideas or thoughts on his tire problem. I personally am concerned about the tires on this coach and fear he may not make it home but he is also concerned about the cost and not knowing what he will need to do when he replaces the wheels
Please advise
thanks
Marcel

How far does he need to travel?
Maybe he can barrow a set of wheels and return them.
He should consider American Eagle hub centered wheels over Alcoa if
price is a consideration.

It shouldn't be a problem to go that far on old tires as long as he doesn't go too fast, say like over 20mph.

Just under 1,400 miles
Tires will blow on cool day under 55 mph within 6 miles of the place trying to sell coach. AND tires will blow within 140 miles of sellers house on a 90 degree day at 60 mph. both happened to me. Second instance was 6 yr old tire which just came back from Florida to PA 2 weeks earlier and this coach was used a lot.

Unless Manuel is on a plane enroute to EL P he may be reading your words

Or, he could buy wheels and tires first. Then move the coach.

Marcel,
Go to the mens mall and get 6 rims from a '90s Dodge 1 ton (make sure they're domed) ($30 or $40 each), and the nuts if needed.
The rims are not hub centered, but are of the right configuration 16" x 6", and 8 x 6.5 bolt pattern. Then transfer the tires.
That should take you home.

I have six 16.5" wheels and tires (date code unknown). They have been loaned out 4 times to transport coaches. If he was local he could borrow them. The last time they were used was last summer for an 1800 mile trip.
