New Wheels and Tires

Snagged a great deal on Craigslist for 6 new 16" wheels and two tires for $80. One tire is a 235/85/16 and the other is a 215/85/16. Mismatched, so the 215 will go in the trunk as a spare for now.

This morning I should be heading down to pick up 3 more 235/85/16 tires with 85-90% tread for another $80. These are tubeless and can be mounted at a normal tire shop versus the split-rim tube requiring wheels and tires that we just replaced on the front.

Sad, if we would have been able to make it home on the front tires... I'm getting 6 wheels, 5 tires mounted balanced for $200, the 2 tires on the trip home costs $400 for tubes and tires alone.

Oh well, $600 for a full set and a new spare is not a bad deal I guess... works out to less than $100/wheel.
