Tires In Texarkana

[rumplecat]

I am high bidder on three lots of 11X20 ndts down in Texarkana, anyone else driving down that way through Arkansas? Could split some gas money? Out of the 18 tires looks like 12-13 are near new, plenty to reshoe the 5 ton and for $20 and change a piece hard to pass up. They had several lots of 14X20s no one bid on, good looking tires to. They had 15 or so engine containers, none sold, I think because they looked like they were for 6.2 diesel? If they had been larger I would have gotten a couple, my trailer won't be a third full.

Be ready to spend some time getting your stuff, Texarcana is a pain in the a$$ to go on and off.

I'd like to split a few with you James, but I think if I told the department that I wanted to get a couple of tires right now, they'd probably shoot me. Do they sell rims with the tires at Texarkana ??

ditto. I went there about 3 months ago and it took ~3hrs to get to the location for tires then they didnt have a operating forklift so all 24 had to be loaded by hand. I toticed most of the 11x20'swent for about 220-240. that seems a bit high to me as I got 4 lots of them for 50 each.

I am active duty and this is the first base I've been on where I had to get a visitor's badge! Then since you are going to DRMO you must go through the back gate with all the semi's-it takes awhile. The thing that really got me, was when we were all loaded and going out we were never inspected, anyone could have taken anything once they got on the base. It was a really wierd experience.

I got the three lots that were not all new tires, I guess about 70% were newish looking, but I only spent on the average $75 for six tires, still way better than any other deal I have seen around here by a long shot! I was expecting the other lots to go for less but they went to over $200 right off the bat. I was tempted to bid on a power washer that was under $250 but it was a 230 volt unit, too much trouble to setup or convert.

PS: Chad no wheels available just tires.

NW Arkansas is the power washer manufacturing capital of the US - I suspect you are in a better position to find an inexpensive one than any one else on this list.

David:
You are right on the power washers around here, I passed up a good one three years ago at cost, I didn't need it then, only been in MVs for the last year and one half or so!!!

I just got back from picking up my lot of 6 tires. All of which are brand new tires. Got to RRAD at 12:45 and was going out the gates and back home around 2:00.

Thought they could have a better system, but overall so far so good and no major compliants or horror stories from me.
