    You could have the tires delivered to the house, then grab two tires/wheels off the Cruiser and have them mounted, then do the same thing with the other two.
    If you have enough jack stands, yank all 4 wheels off and have them all done at the same time. Just would save towing it in.

    Call and ask what they charge to mount and balance tires you bring in. Around here it's anywhere from $25- $50 each. You still have to put them on the vehicle.

    I'd think unless you have a gusher, that a freshly inflated tire will make it 19 miles.

    Yeah, probably a valve stem issue. Inflate that tire to max. inflation, should run fine until you get to town.
    But- still have the tires shipped to the house. And when you get them, strip every piece of shipping tape/cardboard off of those tires. When they are stripped of everything that could reflect that they came from "tire rack", have kiddo roll them down the drive a few times to dirty them up.
    Your story- WWW picked them up from someone on a job site. Believe me, small town tire shops hate "tire rack".

    Maybe she'll be lucky and that local tire shop will be a certified tire rack installer?

    We'll see, the nearest installer on the tire rack website is Cheyenne....
    Cool!! Also it was pretty windy here this evening, even though it's hot I had to close the windows and doors because it was pretty strong..... Later after I cracked them open again I smelled smoke. Sure enough, call came out for a fire on Bull Mtn near Red Feather. He's not going, too long travel time and he has to be northe east of Chy tomorrow morning.

    Just make sure the place you tow to allows outside deliveries. Some will only mount/balance tires they sell. Last time I looked (a couple of years ago, I believe they had a section that told you who in their area they could ship to for you.

    Edit: I see you already checked and that doesn't seem like it will work for you.

    We met her at Dennis' GTG in Michigan, May '19. She even stayed at the same B&B as us. Yep, we think the world of Molly. My hunny asked about her nearly every day.

    We are getting a nice soaking rain here this morning. Seems as though we are out of the drought cycle finally! The past 2-3 days of cool air have been really nice too. Windows are open, and for the first time in months I am willingly wearing pants, not shorts.

    Figures that it will break just in time to be really hot at Dave's property tomorrow.

    Jon as you know many of us have been blessed by meeting Molly at various GTG. Yes they are a great couple.

    And we are still patiently waiting for you to show up in MI. Maybe now with Ray retiring he may even show up.

    Might have to run air again today. It's been good no needing them. But now having to wear this neck brace it gets too uncomfortable with the heat. I won't complain about having to spend dollars to keep us cool.
