The Royal Nonesuch posted:I have forgotten: what crazy insane bolt pattern or reason is preventing Dave from just junkyarding some normal wheels? It's a 10-bolt, but what specific bolt pattern it is I have no idea. I don't think there's a lot of consumer pickups that use those.

4500/5500 gm trucks and old motorhomes probably use something similar. f-superduties of obs/bricknose were 10 bolt too. as for bolt pattern? i'm unsure. they look drat close.

To remove just flatten the tire and drive in circles until the bead rolls over

14 BAR RIFF posted:I understand people have their own expenses so I don't make this post cavalierly, or even sunbirdy Also, I've been meaning to give this post a thumbs up because I literally  at it. I'm the proud owner of a 2001 Cavalier, and at one point my sister had a 2002 Sunbird, same color even, and getting in her car or looking under the hood was some uncanny valley poo poo. So I totally got that joke and appreciated it immensely.

An old roommate and I had Integraty! ... as in... we both owned almost identical cars. He had a 1990 Integra. I had a 1991 Integra. Same color, and the same front clip mod (JDM headlights)... and making it more confusing, our keys worked on each others cars (but to be fair, the key to my old Civic also worked on his car, and a screwdriver probably would have worked too). We also had similar stereos. I got in his car more than once (and vice versa) and went "wait... wrong kind of transmission". Other hint was his had manual windows, mine had power windows (but oddly, still manual locks on mine). Still wound up taking each others cars occasionally, because at 5am when you're trying to get to work and you've already overslept, you just don't give a gently caress.

Do the old tires hold air at all? poo poo, fill those loving tubes with slime and take surface streets to Florida. Yeah, it'll take loving forever maxing out at 40mph, but you'll get there before the new tire situation would be sorted, and you'll get there alive.

How is "on the side of the road" any different than what he's doing now (other than being warmer and probably more comfortable)? And even then, he'd do it a couple times, at most... they aren't ALL going to fail.

You're making a pretty dire situation out of having to potentially change a tire on the side of the road, where the tire change currently involves a bunch of hand tools in the middle of a field, not power or shelter or transportation.

Really the only differences doing tires here or somewhere else are out there I won't have an air compressor, the high lift, or a toilet to desecrate

It's an ancient truck, the tires are only one of a dozen failure points. It seems to be a potentially dangerous waste of time to learn how to change an archaic tire/wheel combo instead of getting the truck moving, and at least hobbling it to a tire shop, if nothing more.

It doesn't make sense to spend an extra week going 40mph taking the circuitous route and hoping for the best when you can take a week now to fix the tires and know that they won't be a concern. You're probably right about the tires being only one of a dozen issues though.

It seems to be a potentially dangerous waste of time to learn how to change an archaic tire/wheel combo instead of getting the truck moving, and at least hobbling it to a tire shop, if nothing more. It may be an older style but its still a lock ring and not a widowmaker split. It deserves extra respect and caution when initially filling but otherwise is just a massive PITA to dismount and mount, and would be a Herculean task to do roadside when it inevitably failed because it's traveling halfway across a continent. And let's talk about that failure. Let's talk about blowing out a dry rotted front at 55mph in a 8000 lb-ish truck with no power steering and newly-repaired untested drum brakes in slippery winter weather, and how quickly that goes really badly. Lastly let's talk about how much any pro tire guy loathes slime or any other tire sealant, and how impossible you would make the inevitable further work on that rim. Especially roadside. Calm your rear end down and let Dave do what Dave does.
