Newbie Questions
Hello

I am looking at purchasing a 1975 FC-31 Wanderlodge and I have a questions I
hope someone can answer. It has 9.00x20R tires and I have searched the internet
to find out how much it would cost to put tires on but cant find any information
on that size tire. I Have not yet seen the coach other than pictures so I'm not
sure if the owner is giving me the correct tire size. Thanks in advance

Nick

Hello and welcome!

Yup, those are the right size. I have a 1974 and it has that size... Tube tires. The '75 you are looking at must still have the old split rim wheels like mine. I bought my Wanderlodge with the tires already replaced, so they can obviously be found somewhere. I can do some checking myself if you would like. The other option (and this is what I would probably do) would be to get some modern 22.5" non-split rim wheels. There are millions of those tires out there. I think the reason that they used the same size on mine is that the 9x20 tires are cheaper.

Is the '75 you are looking at gas or diesel?

Good luck
Marc

Thanks for the response to my question. I'm sure that going to the 22.5 would be
the best thing to do, where would I get the rims? Are they a standard bolt
pattern? I have a Dodge Travco currently with the 7.50R x 17 with the split ring
those tires are available but pricey

The one I'm looking at is gas.

Thanks

Nick

I just bought a replacement 22.5 rim for
our 82 at Cower Tire here in Fort
Worth
. It was $300 plus $25 to remount and balance
the tire.

Our 73FC31 had the 9.00X20 tires on steel split rims when we bought it. I
upgraded it to 22.5 Alcoas and 11X22.5 Toyo tires... You might check E-Bay for
Alcoas. You probably need the Budd Stud piloted type.
OR, you could buy my Bird, which is all fixed up.. :-)..
