so much! There are 4 "key words" in my
statment "Alloy" "Festia" "Rabbit" "Close". Yea I did not mention the
"Rat Tail File" "Scribe" and removing a hub to center and trace the
pattern in the mag. I sorta thought that we knew that their was
a little "Fitting" to do. I have at times been fed up with the 10"
thing over the years and used these 2 to buy some time. You have done
some great info collection, right on Anton

If you still need tires, go to your local Michelin dealer. These guys
make New tires for Amusement Park rides, such as Paratrouper. They
should be able to get 10"ers.

[Kevin Lister]

Hi Scott,
Didn't you say you bought those tires 10 years ago or something like that?
Don't tires have a shelf-life?

No I just bought them but they are old stock .
They where stored correctly and are still soft and plyable and still smell of fresh rubber,
It's all in how they are stored.
No Dry Rot Here

[Mark Kuran]

PCD is Pitch Centre Diameter. Also called bolt circle or bolt
pattern. It corresponds to the diameter of an imaginary circle
formed by the centers of the wheel studs.
Mark.

[Kevin Lister]

If you meant "bolt pattern" why not just say "bolt pattern". ;o)
Thanks for the info!

[Kevin Lister]

You're running on them now, right? You like?
I just replaced my front tires as I chewed them up due to alignment and inflation errors. Miles helped me align the wheels before I put the new ones on. I suppose I'll know if there's a problem soon enough. The first set of new tires didn't last very long.
I'm running the new tires at 36psi to see if that helps. It makes the ride a little stiffer but it feels better in turns and on the freeway. It also makes the wheel easy to turn.
