Preferably between Slidell and Meridian, anywhere along 59 would be fantastic.
But willing to run to other places if you can be patient, I'm regularly as far east as ocean springs, west to madisonville, and south to venice.
Let me know if you hear of anything.
Thanks!

A rimenea? Have you tried a tire shop that handles 18 wheeler tires? They may have a damaged one for cheap or free.

First tire dealer you see that does tractor trailers stop and ask. That is generally where they are and end up in scrap metal. So they should part with them reasonable. Usually they are misshapen wheels that no longer balance or seat the tire bead properly.

Rob, I would drive down Almonaster and check those crappy scrap places between Old Gentilly and Downman. I will go home from work that way today and text you if I see anything.

Rob, I didn't see any but I did see about a million tires. There are a few places closer to 510 on Almonaster that looked like they may have some old 18 wheelers...may be worth asking some of them.

This isn't exactly what you are asking for, but I bought one of these fire pits and I couldn't be happier. It should last me a lifetime.
