I am going to Tower Park next month and I would like to pick up a good set of tires for my Goat and wanted to know if anyone might know some. I will be taking the I15 down through Montana to Salt Lake then across on 80 over towards Sacramento and then down to the meet. I was told by one person that the late Jack tomlin's place might still have some but I thought I would see what other might have to say.

So what's the deal with Tomlin's yard? Is it still open and functioning? I know Bob Uhrig was listing some of his trucks? Here in a few weeks, i'll be close enough for a roadtrip there, just curious.

I am not 100% sure as when I talked with Alix Gorden today and he said that Bob was scrapping a lot of stuff but when I talked with Bob I was only interested in the tires but it sounds like he is only there on Sundays so you would have to more that likely have to plan for a Sunday pickup.

what shape are the tires in overall (dry rot, cracks, percentage of tread left ) and what did he charge you for them as I have been told a few different prices.

Do you know if he has any Gamma Goat parts or just the tires ??

I wouldn't hesitate to buy new repro tires, or mounted used ones that I could inspect - but be very cautious of NOS tires still in the wrappers. I purchased a full set of 7 NOS tires from northern Calif that looked perfect when they arrived - but they were **** to get mounted - and split like crazy after they were inflated to 25 psi. The worn down tires are in much better shape than the poorly stored NOS ones.:mad:

I've been talking to dukw parts in chicago about some tires. They have NOS for $150. Or $25 for take offs. I'm going to ask for some pics of their take offs.

Looks like scrap stock. 11.00-18 tires are not made any more for at least 10 years. Even the US-Army does not know any more source for new tires. The repalcement size is 12.00-18 from Cheoslovaca or Russia.
