I know this prob should be in the tire and wheel section, but its more a rant/request type thing. I have a 1991 Toyota 2wd pickup with 14" wheels.
Do you think I can find a decent 14" tire for this truck ???? NO ! I realize that the old 14" is a dissappearing item... but come on..... all I find is name brands that I never heard of or crap from Japan whos customers ratings are lil to nothing of great. I am needing 195/75/14.... nothing... so I go to 205/70/14 and find many of the discount tire sites list a BFG radial T/A... so I get a little excited.... check the consumer ratings... they are all high... off the board great ! Whoo hoo..... check stock.... NONE AVAIL.... check another place NONE AVAIL..... check another place NONE AVAIL..... find out BFG is no longer making them.... then why-o-why put them on your dang site if BFG doesnt have any and neither do you !! sheesh..... I guess I will have to go spend good money for crappy *** tires. Anyone have any suggestions ? Tires they had great luck with ?? Dont need to bring up trying to check all the tires sites.. I been on them all.

that's off the gm tire site
any major store / distributor participating in gm's "on the roll " program uses that info
i guess availability might vary from area to area
but the prices can be pretty dam sweet
i think ford has the same type of program
can't remember if chrysler does or not
but any decent parts guy at a gm store can run the check for you
 
I have Firestone 225/70/14 on my Dart. When I bought them they had other sizes available. Mine came from Diamond Back Classics with redlines, but they just buy them from Firestone. Have had them for 5 years so they might not have many 14's now.

Got a set of 195 70 14 goodyears i took off my Dart. I'm using one as a spare for the dart. They have very few miles.

Would trade for one 205/70/14 firestone redline from Diamond Back Classics.

Try www.tirerack.com. They show 4 tires in 195/75-14. The Kumho Solus is a good tire. Have those on my '66 Valiant in a different size. Wet traction is amazing. They also list a Goodyear Integrity in that size and a Yokohama. The other tire is a winter tire made by Firestone. I've never had to wait more than 3 days to get tires from The Tire Rack since they have warehouses all over the country. Don't hurt to look.

Besides the FR380 (which are black, round, have a hole in the middle) you can also check your local Cooper supply house. The lower line of Cooper- Majestics still have your size available. Had to put some on my pop's AWD Aerostar. Good traction, good wear. A lot better tire than the FR380 and better prices comparably. I've sold 'em both and would prefer the Majestics for the price.
 
ok gang... I checked everything out... appreciate the help ! I sucked it up and bought through Summit..... I wanted the BFG's and they had them fairly close to me.

dang little truck aint worth its new shoes ! LOL
