The title is a little tongue in cheek - this is more of a maintenance post. After some axle/weight issues (our blame), the tires on Muriel have worn super unevenly with the outside edge wearing down dramatically more than the rest of the tire. Since they are directional tires, I can’t just take the port wheel and put it on the starboard side and vice-versa. Instead, the tires need to be removed from the wheels and swapped to the opposite wheels, then re-mounted. Hopefully this allows us to get some more life out of them. If not, we are due for replacements at around 15k miles of life.
Last week I winterized Muriel and parked her in the (covered) storage lot for winter. I yanked the battery out for tending on a charger in the house, and removed the propane tank as well. And, for this year only, after I jacked both the wheels off the ground I also removed them and put them in my truck to take to the local tire shop.
As I left, I couldn’t help but chuckle and say to myself (in a very Dad Voice), “well that thing ain’t going anywhere for awhile.”
Happy holidays, ya’ll
