"Both are expensive but if it takes you this long to decide on blowing up your tires, then you shouldn't even consider the task of changing diapers"
That comment was unnecessary.
He clearly stated he needed to have tires and wheels on the truck at all times. He also stated his concern with blowing up the old tires.
Forums are all about asking for and getting opinions. Different opinions.
Personally I would not even consider putting old tires on wheels after spend the time effort and money to have them sand blasted and painted. Even temporary. Too much risk of chipping and scratching during mounting. But that's just my opinion....
I would think given the that the same bolt pattern has been used for years you should be able to find something fairly easily that will do the job.
Good luck.
