Try gene willimson tire. They are on canal street. They are a small shop. But they do large truck tires also. They have worked on my M35.

let us know what they say, im about to do the same myself.
:ditto:

The ridiculous prices I got when I called around is why I did all 11 of mine (11x20's) myself, but I'd love to know a shop that would do it for a reasonable price. I have no desire to ever do it again !

Make sure you say "lock ring" not "split ring" when describing the wheels, no one will work on "split ring" wheels, they are too dangerous. The "lock ring" wheels the deuce uses are as safe as any big tire/wheel combo if you know what you are doing.

46" tires in Houston

Keep me in mind if anyone is in the market for 46" tires or custom wheels. I am 45 min South of Houston and they are in-stock.

There's a shop that we've taken some of the vehicles from the museum to in the past south on McCarty. Everytime I've been there with a duece or whatever prices have been very reasonable.

I had a tire shop in Houston fix a flat on an old 1969 dodge D50 I used to have. At first they quoted a crazy price but after talking to them they went down to $30.00. The difference was taking the truck to their shop and waiting around for someone to get to them instead of having a service truck come out and fix it on the road.

You might get a better price if you offer to leave it so someone can fix it when they are slow?
