It's Fryeday - don't hurt me for asking a tire-type question. OK, I have 15" Dueler AT's on the A.B. and that's not the problem. The problem is my spare. I went to remove the spare yesterday in order to do some work on the heater hoses. I couldn't get the carrier open because of extreme pressure from the tire that is in there. I'm at Dave and Sandy Milo's house and Dave and I finally managed to get the thing open. It seems that things are squeezed tight in there since I now have dual AC hoses running to the front of the bus. The spare is a 205/75/R14 and I can't seem to find a 185 R14 truck tire (according to the door sticker). Is there something else that will work? Maybe a passenger sized tire since it's only for a spare (not for a Syncro). Thanks and my apologies for mentioning tires. Maggie '85 Subaru-Westy "Anne Bonney" |
