Do a web search on used tires in Santa Rosa . There are about twenty places in your area that sell used tires. 15 inch , bald tire should not be more than 20.00 .
Mounted and not balanced. Should be 5/10 tops. Look around .... That old toast is close........ Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Rick |

Aircooled VW 4-bolt rims work, if you have a vw shop nearby they would likely sell you a tire already on a rim cheap.

I bet that their recycle pile of any Tire shop is likely to have some 15's they would practically give you for free

Update.....
On my way home yesterday, I stopped into an independent tire retailer in my neighborhood. Owner is foreign..... VERY cool guy. I tell him that I need two old tires... I explain the use. "Nothing fancy..... they are for a rolling shell..... older the better, as long as they hold air. I was thinking $10?" He says, "$30 for the two". I say.... "Umm..... but you are about to throw these out (he had pulled tow from a scrap heap)". He says, "Yes, but you are screwed until you can get the car to roll. $30 for my time.... the tires are free". At least he was honest. $30 it is to support the local economy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (Thank you all for your advice) |

Yes..... $30 includes removing my old tires, mounting two refreshed.
Fine with me. I'm sure I could have saved a few bucks looking around... but he's right around the corner. All good.

Buddy,
I almost forgot that I have a steel wheel with a good tire (that holds air) that you can have for free if you can make the trip up to Vacaville. It's your if you need it. Thanks, Dominic |
