I'm sure you'll find an old timer that has no problem doing them. You might even try a farm or heavy equipment tire shop- they're used to funky stuff like tubes, split rims, etc. If you're not going to be driving this everyday, i wouldn't worry much about balancing them. All you can do is have someone put them on the machine and try it. | | |

A friend of mine got net tires/tubes for his Morgan. Required for older wire wheels since they would otherwise leak quite a bit. Anyway he got 2 flats in a few hundred miles. Turns out there was a sticker on each tube. If that is left in it enventually cuts into the tube. Just something to make your day while your motoring down the road.

It's North Hills Tire. The owner is Mike Starks and the shop supervisor is Stacy. They can fix you up! Joe

Before I went in, I was told it would be difficult to find someone who would do that. They were the 1st ones I tried. | | |
