      Brian, I wouldn't even inflate that tire as it sits in the shop, much less ever mount it on a vehicle and try to drive on it.  Maybe that's too conservative, but it's how I feel about old tires.

I suppose I should just buy a new one then.  I hate to have $500 just hanging under the bus just in case.  Used tires in 11R24.5 are a bit hard to find although just one might be easier to find than a pair.  I have never had a flat on the road with the bus yet, but I have been through three trailer tires due to damage from road debris.

Find a place with lots of logging trucks...11r24.5's are plentiful in west Alabama...west of Tuscaloosa i see them everyday. ymmv etc.
