I decided to get an oil change today, even though it was a few hundred miles too early. Someone must have been watching over me, because the dealer found a nail in the sidewall of one of my tires, and it was not fixable. Who knows what might have happened if this hadn't been discovered? Had to put the spare on, but the lock on the spare cover had something broken off in it. I told the guys to break the lock, after they assured me the latch would still be fine and the spare would not be flopping all over the highway. But now I need a new tire, because I really don't want to be driving without one.
After calling many tire stores, no one carries the Bridgestone V-Steel rib 265 LT245/75R16 120-110 Load Range E. What to do? As I continue on my journey, I will keep calling tire stores on my way, hoping they can help me.
Tonight's campground is okay, but the site I'm in is nowhere near level, I have to go to the clubhouse to get wifi, and I'm peckish because of my tire. Tomorrow will be spent at Appomattox Courthouse which will take my mind off my temporary troubles.
