I always knew of 9-20's to be the easy ones to find. School Buses would use 9-20's and they would pull them off with a whole lot of good thread left. I'm not up on the newer buses, but if they switched over to a different size tire, I wasn't aware of it. Maybe the wheel size is different now-a-days.

Tube type tires are fast becoming a thing of the past my Fire Dist. changed the tires on three of our older Engines and it had me in the Chief's office quite mad about the expenditure. Our Chief was quite surprised when I showed him that we could have bought new polished 22.5 Aluminum wheels and tires for about the same price.

I saw some at the auction last Friday and thought about bought buying them but didn't think I would be able to use them since I was needing 7:20 - 8:20 tires. I didn't see how much they sold for either. Would they be worth buying next time I see them and how much are they worth if very good shape?

Tube type tires are almost obsolete. It is one of those things that when you have them, you can't get rid of them and when you need them, you can't find them. I wouldn't buy them unless I had a vehicle that needed them. I am in the trucking business and have to haul old truck tires to a recycler 70 miles away and pay $6.50 each to get rid of them.

Do you still have the 4 tires? I'm looking to replace the 8.25x20 mud tires on the back of my gmc 4000. Do you know if 9x20s would fit the same rims as 8.25s?

Thanks,

Scott
