That's a great idea and maybe besides scoring myself some tires I can find myself a beau too!

Have you tried truck stops for tires?From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of julie.hey.ho.lets.go@xxxxxxxxxSent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 7:40 AM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] OT: School Bus RescueSorry 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, JulieP.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.No virus found in this incoming message.
