Right on Terry.
What about checking with people that move houses or mobile homes.
Then you avoid the truck stop.

Subject: [tcb] OT: School Bus Rescue
Sorry to be off topic, but it is a Bus and it is in Texas, just
not a VW Bus. I'm thinking of trying to rescue this beauty ( http://picasaweb.google.com/julie.hey.ho.lets.go/DreamBus2?authkey=Gv1sRgCKyJroLao4Hwcg#
) but first I need to get tires on it so it can be towed. People
have told me that those are split rim wheels, AKA widow makers,
but I've found a tire place that ain't scared to deal with those
wheels but so far I've only found new tires which makes this
project very pricey. If I can get this Bus, I would make it into
a guest house, I would not be making it driveable so I figure used
tires would be the way to go, and so far I've had no luck finding
used ones.
So here are my questions: Can any of yous, tell for sure from the
photos that those are spilt rim wheels, and are split rim wheels
only dangerous when they are being inflated?
The tires on the Bus right now are marked 8.25-20 10 ply. Does
anyone know of a good source for a used tires such as these?
Thanks,
Julie
P.S. The story behind the Bus is kind of funny. It had been
converted to a camper and a hippie was driving it around in the
70s and it broke down and he asked a farmer if he could keep it on
his farm until he would come back and fix it. Well, he hasn't
come back yet and the farmer wants it gone. The racoons sure will
miss it.
