    Junk tires

    Hi folks - I might be needing some "junk" tires. 235/75/15 or close to that. 2 or 4 would be great. Looking for "donation quality" stuff here. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

    Matched set....or......?? Does it have to be able to pass inspection?? Or just hold air and roll?? I have four 31-10.5's that may work for you.

    Thanks Dan - they just need to hold air and roll. The ones you have might be a little too big for what I need, but I will check and let you know.

    Anyone on my side of town have anything lying around?

    I wonder if a local tire shop might be able to donate a few old shoes in the size I need...I'd need them mounted ( not balanced ) anyway...

    Are these for a front wheel drive vehicle?

    Ron,

    Let me check, I have a couple sets in the shed. If I have something that size I can bring them to work with me.

    Well, if you get in a bind you can borrow my old stock GT wheels and tires. I would need them back when you are done.

    Thanks Barry - but those wheels won't fit the mystery car.

    I think you're on the right track, but it's a bit bolder than either of those!
