We've blown a tire in San Miguel Mexico, and are having difficulty finding
the right siize replacement. Does anyone know if there are issues using a
slightly wider tire width?
We have the double wheels back tires type of setup.

Hopefully we'll get a answer soon...the roosters are driving us NUTS

Thanks,
Cheryl

Needing to replace a tire in Mexico? Treat it as a temporary spare
and get a real tire once you cross back into the USA.

The only potential issue I know of regarding a width change is
difficulty in getting a good bead seal. 3/4" wider should not be too
much of a problem, but do not go narrower.
