The consensus is to ditch the 10 wheels and tires and just stay with singles. Maybe keep a couple for spares…
I think I conveyed the message wrong. I don’t want or need 10 spare tires. ha-ha, that is just out right dumb. I would have more spares than actual tires on the ground!
I have 10 wheels that I want to keep because I am afraid buying new ones will cost more than what it takes to move the ones I already have. They aren’t spares, the tires are pretty old and I feel its way too much effort to dismount them and ditch the rubber off them. They are still useable with plenty of tread; I just don’t think they are a good choice for a 2200 mile trip. I want to keep the 10 wheels so I can upgrade later
The single wheels I have were in the bed of the truck when I bought it. They are radials and in decent shape. Since they are a taller tire, I want to use them on this trip to save wear and tear and fuel mileage. But other than that, I have no desire for the single wheels.
What I want is 10 11.00X20 radial tires for my stock deuce wheels. I don’t have that, nor can I find it at an affordable price. So if I play the waiting game and hang on to my stock deuce wheels, I will be ready when the deal comes around.
At the same time, I don’t want to overload my trailer, damage anything or cost myself more money than its worth. I also don’t want to lose money from throwing away 10 perfectly usable tires.
