Mike1118,

AAA, that makes me smile.

I spend a lot of time driving in a western county that is 4500 square miles and has 9000 people for a density of 2 people per square mile (Athens county is 128).

Most of those 9000 are in the county seat, the county is sparely settled, mostly ranches. AAA can be a LONG time in coming, and that is if you can get a passerby to call them when they get to a place where a cell phone actually works!

I like to have a spare, anybody ever tried the front wheel with a 225-45-18 tire iead I wrote about earlier?
