Hello,

Well, I've been getting off to a good start tinkering on my new 67 144s, but I have stumbled across a problem I did not anticipate....tires. I have the stock wheels (15x4.5) and I need some tires... Well, it would seem that no one can find the 165/80R15 size anymore. Anyone out there have a suggestion of a place to try? I have checked tirerack.com and a few other similar sites and apparently the Nexen SB802, Kumho Power Star 758, and Kelly have all stopped producing this size. The thought of getting a wider wheel for larger tires might be something to consider down the road, but my budget is a bit tight at the moment and I would just assume use the wheels I have for now.

Oh, I did find some pretty expensive tires in that size from Coker Tires, but I was hoping for a more affordable set. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
