Art, I like the idea of only replacing one tire a year. Street side first to save the plumbing from a blow-out, then curb side and then spare last. Much better to spread the cost out, than to spend $300+ all at once. I would only worry that a flat tire might mean your putting on a 5 to 6 year old spare, but that's why we have AAA-RV.

I agree, there is that risk. My thought will most likely change as time approaches and I become chicken.

I do hate being on the side of the road. I somehow on the last two camper got it worked out. But I think it was because they both had old spares and newer travel tires.

Has anyone priced the 15 inch alloy wheel? How hard are they to come by used?

My tire shop told me they would be about $80 each plus $10 for lug nuts. Steel would be about 35.

I have seen them on CL for about $50 each

I must confess that I'm a bit baffled by the "one tire at a time" idea. Isn't that (about) the same money over the same period of time as "all at once"?

...in giving this further thought, you would probably end up paying " more" buying tires one at a time. If you buy all three today for $300, your done for three or four years; however if you buy one for $100 today, you are probably going to spend more for that same tire next year and then even more the very next year.
Now you've spent about $325, instead of $300.

Thanks but odd as I have received other PMs.
Will check into it.

Some tire manufacturers will provide a rebate when you buy two or four tires at the same time, so buying them all at the same time might actually be cheaper.
