FLAT SPOTS
Posted by TIM from COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, US on March 3, 2007
WE’RE MOVING OVERSEAS. I’M CONSIDERING STORING MY TRUCK, AND THE LOCAL STORAGE COMPANY DOESN’T MOVE VEHICLES IN STORAGE. IF I LEAVE MY TRUCK IN STORAGE FOR 2-3 YEARS, AND IT REMAINS STATIONARY FOR THE ENTIRE TIME, WILL THE TIRES (11K MILES ON THEM) BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED?
If you plan to store a vehicle for a long time, it would be best to get the tires off the ground by putting the vehicle on a good set of jack stands for the storage period.
Approved Rims for a 385/65R22.5 Tire

I have a 1988 Autocar dump truck I purchased in Maryland. The truck originally has 11 x24.5 tires on old style aluminum budd wheels. The truck is now in Florida and I’d like to put 385/65R22.5 flotation tires on the steering axle. I have no idea which wide base rims will work on this truck.
The approved rim widths for the 385/65R22.5 tire are 11.75 inches and 12.25 inches.
