Help with 7.00X17 tires, Budd wheels, '39 3/4 ton followed me home

[jim galli]

I blame it on the (*^*(& snipe engines. You go to bed fine and wake up owner of a '39 3/4 ton.

Does anyone close to me have some 17" tires that would be good enough for "rollers". Bald is OK. I won't get this off the trailer until I get some tires that can hold air.

The solid rings, I assume you have to be able to drive down then work them over the edge to come off. We're "ranch" in Nevada and not afraid to do things ourselves but technical help appreciated. Yes, I'll wrap it up in continuous chain before I put the air to it, if and when I get that far. Anything written on these? Pages V8 manual cover them? Anything on line? Anyone got some tires for me?

Plates on this are Wyo. 1958. Engine turns over and oil looks like it was changed 2500 miles ago. Trans 'sounds' dry as a bone. Much to do. Want to make a preserved 'driver'. Keep the patina. It came with better fenders though. I'm in central Nevada. Tires within 250 miles? Thanks all.
