check the local junk yards too. Also some gas stations sell used
tires.

Used tire shops are every where in the poorer parts of Houston.
Hundreds of them.

If you hurry, you may catch the tail end of the carcass-stripping from
the cash for clunkers program. (I think the deadline for breaking down
the hulks is about now.) There were a lot of Jeep GCs murdered in that
program, so whatever the yard is in your area that bought the hulks,
should have lots of rims and tires that were pulled off them.

Considering this newsgroup can be read by anyone on Earth...it would
help if you would state your location.
Detroit, Podunk, Toronto, Honolulu, Guam, Syndney???
FWIW, Looking at tirerack.com, you're looking at ~ $350 for 4 brand
name 235/75/15 LT tires shipped in the US.
Whatever you buy, you're going to need them mounted and balanced, so
you're going to have to take it SOMEWHERE that does tires.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS GUARANTEED USED TIRES

You left off the "Inc." Are they out of business now?
AZ Nomad
and you're an idiot.
beyond help.
Tire stores have lots used tires, "take offs" that are taken off new
cars to be replaced with better tires before seeing 100 miles.
It's too bad that you're too stupid and paranoid to visit one of those
tires stores run by those "rich guys".
AZ Nomad
That's a worthless guarantee if I've ever heard one.
Good like trying to get jeez to poke his head in this universe for
warranty service.

years ago they changed the name of that place.

ROFLMAO! I would certainly be more than reluctant to buy any tires from a
place with a name like that!

Used Tires, for my 1978 Dodge van.I don't drive that van much anymore,
it just sits there in my carport, I have a lot of my old junk stored in
that van.But I do crank it up two or three times each week and drive it
around the block a few times.
The used tire has a 15 day warranty.Of course it leaks air, that means I
better get that tire back to Cowboy's real quick and get them to fix it
right.
Speaking of Cowboys, and Cowgirls, and not meaning to be too off topic,

One of those gals (Jeri) and her twin sister used to live next door to

Even tomboys need their wheels aligned, every once in a while.

another brand name of goop that is better?
By the time I got to Cowboy's used tires place this late this afternoon,
they had already chain locked the doors and gone wherever.

I always carry a can of leak stop in the trunk.
It works and has saved me many times.
Or inflated the tire long enough to get somewhere else.
I like the kind with the hose because you don't have to
get the valve stem on the bottom.
I also carry a rope type puncture plug kit.
Have used that a lot more. Once every couple of months at least.
Then use the leak stop to inflate the tire.

It works fine in most cases, but I am of the old school who wants a puncture
fixed, not just snotted up. Stop Leak and such work fine, and are now water
based and nonflammable propellant.

The only bicycle tubes I could find around for the particular size
rim/tires I have were SLIME brand tubes.
At least if I had put a hole in the tube while putting it on the rim, I
wouln't have had to take it off and go hunting for another! :)

that's a common size, tried your local craigslist?

working and parking on construction sites, I seldom picked up more than
1-2 nails a year. I can't remember the last time I had an outright flat
tire that I had to change, and the roads around here are horrible, with
lots of potholes. I've had a few leak down (usual aluminum wheel bead
seal problem), but I always noticed early enough to slowly drive to tire
place and have it knocked down. Of course, I don't buy crap tires any
more, either.
Most tire shops, if they know you used that fix-a-flat stuff, won't want
to work on the tire. Propellant isn't flammable any more, but they don't
know that, and it gets their tools all gunked up.

the van (1978 Dodge van) which has a problem with the used tire (left
front wheel) which leaks down.I have no doubt the used tire is good, I
did tell the people at the used tires place to please check the wheel
rim and the tire stem to see if there are any leaks there.
My 1978 Dodge van also has another water leak.I believe the timing chain
cover is leaking somewhere on the top right edge of the cover, next to
the cylinder head, 318 cubic inches V8 engine.Part of the timing chain
cover shares part of the water cooling gallery.When Springtime rolls
around, I will remove the timing chain cover and see if I can find a
better timing chain cover at one of the local auto junk yards around
here.
I have liability auto insurance (Progressive insurance company) on my
1983 Dodge van.When I get my 1978 Dodge van running, in good condition,
I will switch my liability auto insurance from my 1983 Dodge van to my
1978 Dodge van and drive that van for six months and then back to my
1983 Dodge van.I think I will also check the local auto junk yards for a
good wheel and tire which is holding good air pressure and buy that for
my 1978 Dodge van.
I don't like to be working outside in cold weather if I don't have to.I
reckon I have turned into a softy in my old age.

I have heard that Ferrari would supply a can of Fix a Flat in lieu of a
spare tire. I don't know if this is true but heck, they should sell
Ferrari branded Fix a Flat. My guess is they could get $50 a can.
Perhaps all the auto makers should do this. Changing a tire by the side
of the road is dangerous!

on springy spokes wheels.No more flat tires.Someday, most, or all cars
will come from the car factories with those tires/wheels mounted on
them.

Popular Science in '09 reported that Michelin's are noisy @ high
speed, until then pneumatic tyres' interior should have a film of
PTFE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape to stop
leakage of air / nitrogen ( costs time & money to get ) so rolling
resistance can stay low, & grip stays high, will reduce CO2 too.
I hope your DoT will demand this.
