It's 10:30 p.m. and we are sitting still in Slidell, LA about 90 miles east of Baton Rouge. Needing to find a 315 80 22.5.

Stopped at the T/A, had a visit from a roadside assistance outfit, and are waiting until morning to hear of tire availability. Also have a call into a big bus outfit that will not be open until the a.m. Not real confident the news will be good.

We lost the inner drive tire due to the rubber valve extension stabilizer having gone missing somehow. The valve cap which is the kind you can put a gauge on and get a pressure reading w/o taking the cap off rubbed on the outer wheel and caused the inner tire to lose pressure slowly until there was a hole in the tire.

This was discovered when I started feeling a slight vibration in the bus on I-10. We pulled into a rest area and found the problem.

The bus has the same size tires all around. Can we put a different size on the tags and use a tag for the drive? We are supposed to be in CA on Sunday

If anyone in the area has any suggestions where to locate a tire we could sure use the help.

Thanks,
