Jolly's Rescue Squad Summer of 2014
 

To start off the summer I did a few repairs to the Rescue, had to replace the Master Cylinder, and repair & replaced some lights. I replaced the lights on the front of the Cabin with some School Bus lights.

I have been looking for some tires to install on 22.5" wheels, to replace the 20" lock ring wheels, I have a set of 7 tubeless 22.5" wheels, That came with the 1960 LCF I bought a while back, I'll be installing when I get time.

Three of the wheels are not on the chassis, and two of those are bad. So I started doing some tire research.

Tire on the Rescue Squad.

From what I have seen the shortest tire you can get is 255/70R22.5 which is about the same hight as the 20"s on there now. These can be pricy tires. I found one for $100, for my research, and then resold it for $100.

Next I found 2 motorhome tires for $200, they are a Michelin 235/80R22.5 this is a Michelin only tire size from what I have found out, and these tires go for over $500 each new.

I installed the new Used tires, as they have 17/32 tread, they are as close to new as you can get and still be used.

I just need to get time to install them on the Rescue Squad.
