Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

FINALLY

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



That makes them going on 8 years old.
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???

  1. 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!!!

    Bill 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...
