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.
