Consider yourself lucky if your wife only weighs 130 pounds!! By
the way Tom, excellant article on the tires..... Also on my
windhields, I bought for a mere $600 pair, it's okay to "cut corners"
on installation when you have a good pair of scissors (the right
installer). Mine went in perfect, even without a guarantee. Sometimes
risks are a good deal if they are calculated right.

Something I forgot to add about the 2 tires that went bad and self
destructed within hours of each other. I had put the spare on the drivers
side middle wheel, and it was a 9.50 instead of a 8.75. Never occured to me
in my moment of stupidity that the 9.5 is a larger diameter tire than the
8.75. Now think that it was this larger size tire that caused the rear tire
on the same side to explode, probably from being severely overloaded. I
believe that running a larger tire on the one wheel of the rear will
transfer weight to the smaller tire as a result of the tandem axel
configuration. Does this tell us how close to the edge these D rated tires
are running?

has anyone else ever used two different size tires on the rear wheels, even
in an emergency?

Hmm, how much is too much. If you have six Alcoas and keep one steel
wheel for a spare, you'll have some mismatch.

Interesting!
