Anyone got a spare 25" Goodyear Front Runner?
« on: August 08, 2017, 09:34:18 PM »
Just popped a hole in a tire loading up the truck.  25 x 4.5 x 15" Goodyear Font Runner. 
If anyone would sell one at the salt, I'd be buying at full price +!
Or a pair of 24 x 5 x 15" Goodyear Front Runners. 

Otherwise I'll drop ship to our hotel if I have to.  Oh how I hate paying UPS to blue or red label stuff...

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!!!
Jeff

Buddy of mine has a couple fronts. Don't remember the size. I'll call and get back to you, probably not tonight though.
And yes I'm the same ratpatrol66 from the Ratsun site.

We aren't going to arrive until Fri afternoon.  I found out Shelby has a Goodyear warehouse in NV, so I may just get them to ship me a couple to the hotel via standard UPS if they can get them out today? 
This is the last thing I thought would go wrong...I guess that's how it works.

2nd that. 

Bagged and in a cool dark place at home and not on the car on the trailer.  They look cool on the car but not good on them especially if you have added a lot of weight to the car,

Live and learn.  The issue for me is wheels that fit on the vehicle.  Custom only.  We're rookies learning the hard way. 
I ordered 2 from Shelby that will arrive before we do.  Thanks for all the help and offers guys!!!

Looks like you got it covered. The tires my friend has are mounted on wheels and he doesn't want to separate them.

I have a used unmounted pair you are welcome to.  We are leaving in the morning, 8/10 at about 9 AM Pacific.  If you want them, let me know before then and I'll throw them on a trailer.  Call me at 702-FIVE24-ONE799.

We had a B1tch of a time getting ours to seat on the wheels. Good luck with the Bendover tire shop.

We mounted a pair of Goodyears during the Test and Tune ,  Take them to the Carrillo brothers in East Wendover, they will add air until they seat , just as long as you give them the go ahead . It took 125 lbs to seat the beads on ours !  the guy behind the truck stop is an OK guy but he dosent have the nads to put enough air to them.
