I know that those of you who have been
following along with this SAGA
will be happy to hear that
after nearly 4 months of
continuous searching
for tires that were both
within 100 miles of Winnona’s current location
and
made within the past 6 months,
SUCCESS!!!
Winnona has NEW SHOES!!
For SURE I have never had
this much trouble
spending
this much money.
Here’s the problem.
Tires made in 33/03
Notice cracks
Notice cracks
More Side wall cracks
and cracks in the tread
NO THANKS!
now you can see why I was
INSISTANT
on tires.
Here’s where we finally found the tires
3 MONTHS after we’d initially checked with them .
David called originally, I called this time.
Clearly they like me better!!!!!!!!!
First tire off
First tire back on
Putting these tires on
looks like a backbreaking job to me
Checking out the spare which showed,
of course,
NO wear at all
since it has been in the dark for 7+ years
And never been mounted.
Thanks to Steve and J.R. who got them
All mounted and balanced
And got our girl on her way.
This is a class operation and
this review gives them 10 stars!

So that’s the end of this SAGA
It took three months to find them
and less than 3 hours to install them

On to the awning and slide toppers.
AIN’T WE GOT FUN???
Woo Hoo!!! We are so happy for you guys:o)) Sure as been a trial to get those tires, but now you are riding around safely!!!
ReplyDeleteBill took the Van in for an oil change today and $900 later, we had new breaks, axle seals, axle cylinders, some other stuff I don't really understand and oh yea, an oil change. Just never done with an older vehicle;o(( But at least we will be able to stop going through the mountains on the way to the rally ;o))
So any plans on heading to the rally a couple days early;o)) Just asking...
Now aren't ya ready to get those new wheels rollin'? We're just aching to hit the road but we've got stuff to do. See y'all in April!
