Well since my flame suit is at the cleaners I'm not even going to type what I had to do to get my new to me repo coach home from a seller 400 miles away home before the next stop at a tire dealer a few days later. Lets just say the tires that were on the coach were not installed by Ford, Thor or the original owner and a flat bed wrecker somewhere had a set of lightly used 19.5 tires and shiney dent free simulators to go along for the ride.
Never hurts to hang on to one as a potential spare. ERMS will gladly pay to install while having to buy a new tire on the side of the road on a holiday weekend,,, lets just say who ever is coming to the rescue has a bit of a captive customer. If you can get your hands on the heavy plastic wrap shippers use to hold stuff together wrap the tire. Helps keep ozone at bay and the tire a bit cleaner if it's hang under the chassis somewhere.
I don't get the hype about Michelin either. Plenty of well made reliable tires available at much less cost. Sometimes it seems if you're not rolling down the road on $500+ Michelin tires you're a biggest hazard on the high way.
