Default What are the odds?

Well went to Hershey to buy tires and TUBES for my 35 Chevy coupe. Bought the tires from Universal Tire [Firestone] Good-Year and BF Goodrich do not make a 525 / 550 -17 tire. So i bought the tires and was told TUBES are having a problem with them [ MADE IN CHINA] So NO tubes. Universal with Coker and Lester looking for someone else to have them made elsewhere [maybe by early next year.. So here is the odds..... My friend Nick worked for the City of White Plains YEARS ago and picked up Stuff on the side of the road on trash day [ not garbage ]but tires ,battery's ,junk lawn mowers ,,stuff like that [garage stuff] . He picked up boxes of car parts at this one old looking house. 1 box had 4 New 525/550-17 tubes [and some original Valve stems[ for the Model "A"] So now i am in business with New Tires and Tubes... SO what are the odds?

I would say your odd of that happening are "Forget about it"/"No Way!"
Enjoy, but hope the tubes are still viable after all those years in storage...
