2009 Troopy finally in Canada (Tire Question!) (2 Viewers)

[ROUSER]

I know that Troopy, it used to live in my pueblo here in the Auzero Peninsula. I've actually done some minor repairs on it when it first arrived in town. Enjoy your new rig!

Thank you! You must own Le garage?

No, I don't own that place. I live in the same town as the previous owners of your Troopy. I helped them with minor issues when they first acquired the rig. Le Garage is where they had the major repairs done, a few hours east of us.

4 rims? No matching spare? Or did I miss it.

It has a split rim on the back now which matches the 4 I ordered.

I am waiting to hear back from a company that fits out LCs here in Canada for the mining industry. They have a lot of the split wheel rims cheap. I don't mind getting those unless there's a downside I don't know about. Assuming some garages won't want to mess with them but I'm assuming a truck shop would know how to mount the tires.

I don't see a lot of options online for the 5x150 rims. A couple of very expensive Japanese aluminum rims but I don't want to pay $3000 for 4 rims.

I have a set of the split rims. They are quite different from the "widow makers" used on older US trucks.
Totally safe to do a tire change yourself.

Glad that Ens came through at such reasonable prices.

I would think the only disadvantage of the splits is the weight and the fact that you need a tube.
