Replacement tire questions: PUP
We just bought the PUP in my signature from my FIL. It sill has the original tires on it (Loadstar STR185/80D13). We're planning an ambitious adventure of just under 1,200 miles round trip in a few ...

Thanks, CapriRacer

I have a list of places I checked online for ST 185/80D13 or ST185/80R13 that did not have them. Each has ST205/75R14 in stock. I have phone numbers from prior tire searches while camping and will phone call a couple. I wish to be certain the ST205/75R124 is reasonably available, since that is by biggest thing.
My local tire guy said since he does not deal with wheels, I might find a "special" deal on three ST205/75R14 tires on wheels easier than buying just tires from him. Another local said he could handle it all and would be happy for the business. He's pushing nitrogen for inflation. I said I'm 80% there since air is about 80% nitrogen.
Neither tire guy could find anything that said other than a five stud wheel fits on a five stud axle. That is the next step - get a five stud wheel and put it on to see if the studs line up properly. I will not go into the discussion we had about lug nut tension. . .
