Www.crawlpedia.com has a pretty decent cross reference for wheel bolt patterns for rigs. I have used it for purchasing used tires and wheels. @Happy Gilmore

Schwab has always been good to me, Well except for the manager at the smokey pt schwab.   I think he may of gotten an arse whuppin back in like 2002.

I belive part of the love hate relationship comes from the discretion each MGR has that macs b talks about. There are less independent owner story today than before Les died and since none of his family took hold of the reigns it can't be the same kind of company. Schwab has succeeded by having a location in every small town and taking care of thier customers.

Additionally cooper Tire a usa company has made many of thier private label  tires for years.

  I do believe that if a guy does a lot of traveling, hunting, fishing etc. in the PNW he would be smart to run schwab tires just for the fact that you can find one in just about every town in Wash. Ore. Idaho etc. to take care of tire issues. 

If needed, they can handle tire issues regardless of where I bought my tires. Might cost a few bucks, but oh well.
I stopped going to Schwab years ago because every time I went in for new tires or puncture repair, they told me I needed a bunch of other things replaced. One location always told me my brakes were down to 10% and needed replacing. This was over the course of a few years with two different vehicles. Somehow I managed to drive both rigs for years without any problems.

Macs B is correct when saying Les Schwab buys a LOT of fair animals, they really do a lot for the kids at fair time.

always tried to tell me I needed something else.  Finally went to get two tires after a blowout and they said they could only sell in a set of four because of 4x4.  Only need two...same axle...  But claimed liability blah blah blah.  Guys at discount are like what two do you want?  Done!

The store manager and the jack-knob with the impact gun is why we no longer use the Irongate Les Schwab in Bellingham. They f'ed up a wheel and wheel stud, worst part is they tried to hide it and send my wife back out on the road. The manager of that store was a complete a hole. Fortunately the Meridian ST Les Schwab stepped up and took care of us.

skwab wants to sell me Toyo's for $400 each with no warranty...i don't take my duramax wheelin but 80% of my miles are on gravel roads and that diesel pig chews up tires for breakfast.  Discount will sell me the same tire make/design/10 ply in a cooper tire with a 60,000 mile warranty for $200 per tire...enough said

Can you elaborate?
I'm assuming the M/Ts? Since shwaub carries a 60k on the A/Ts.
size?

1/2 the price seams too good to be true

Chevy dealer is working on tracking down a set of factory 17" (if they exist) or a replacement Fuel wheel. I just bought new bfg in 17" after the first one cracked. Sucks. I'm sort of stuck in a hole with this situation

You should be able to find factory 17" on climate pretty cheap. What year?
