Re: warped tire
my gut feeling on this one is it might be ok to drive to the tire place. I dont know though. but want to find out! I know your broke but you could try calling the used tire place and see how much one would cost. I got a tire from discount tire for 30 bucks out the door. but that was for a car. best of luck for you!

Re: warped tire
If a belt is broken,don't drive it far.In my younger days i tried that and and the Dang thing blew.Nearly took the fender off,not to mention the no control of direction thing.......spent twenty minutes coughing up seat foam

Re: warped tire
Call up a used tire place or park it. I just fixed my sister's car today because she drove on a broken belt, blew the tire, and ripped her fender to hell.

Re: warped tire
It'll work until it blows, that's all I can tell ya. Though like kcackler said watch your fenders.
Hunt around and see if you can find a used tire place. I bought a set of 32's for my last truck with half tread for $25 each installed and balanced. |

Re: warped tire
If it is in the rear you will get a vibration at speed and when you go slow it will act like you are driving on a rough road no matter how smooth the surface is. You will more than likely be able to jack up the truck and spin the tire by hand and notice that it isn't round.

Re: warped tire
oh, thats what happened to my dads car one day. we drove along with one tire giving us a up and down ride for maybe a month? till we replaced the tire. we were lucky I guess, and tight on money.
