Want to buy a spare tire and wheel

[Connieb]

Take it to a tire place to be sure if you can't check yourself. We have a chateau 2017,,31 ft. E-450. All tires are the same. We got a cheap spare and carry it in the road.

To the original poster:
Go to google and look for RV salvage. There might be one in your area
and if so you can buy a good used steel wheel to fit. Then buy a tire to
fit and you will have your spare.

I went a little different direction back when I had a Class A 2015-2018.

I had a side storage space for a spare so I went to a truck tire shop and
bought a good used tire in the correct size (no patch's) for $80.

Then on a trip we had a blow out and I got towed to the next town in
Montana off I-90 to a tire shop and had them install the spare tire on
the rim and later I had to order a new tire from Goodyear to replace.

Thank you for all the replies. I am a person who likes to be prepared, so I took the following actions. 1)Signed up for Good Sam Roadside Assistance. 2) Bought a heavy duty $300.+ portable air pump which runs off the Ford E350 Battery with cables.3) Bought a can of aerosol tire sealer for flats. 4) Found a used Ford wheel for $45. and made the tire shop try it on my vehicle to verify the fit. 5) Bought a spare tire and had it installed on used wheel. 6) Bought a heavy duty RV Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount. 7) Bought a 6 ton hydralic bottle jack. I know all this might be over kill considering I have Good Sam Roadside Assistance but the thought of waiting up to 8 hours on the side of road does appeal to me.

That is prepared. Something to think about. Since you have 115v with your generator, i’ve found it cheaper, easier to use and much more efficient to use a 115v tire inflator rather than a 12v. It’s one thing that I use all the time.

I understand that. If I still had those urges I’d also buy and carry a tire plug kit (actually I still have one and carry it). But as an old retired fellow I now find the thought of waiting for roadside assistance to be not very troubling. Especially if I’m safely off the road and comfortably ensconced in my motorhome. Just put on a good movie and make a cup of fresh coffee. Or if it was a tumultuous day maybe a tall gin and tonic.

I should have said does not appeal to me.
