<VV> Update on 13" and 14" tires

[Dale]

JR -

The summer tires are in stock in my local store.  The winter studded tires are in Anchorage.  Both in 185/80-13.  

I have not yet confirmed they are passenger load rated, rather than trailer rated tires.

Les -

I don't know what to say.  They specifically told me they were Kingstar's by Hankook.  It may be these are NOS.  Sometimes we are a little slow getting products up here, and they can hang around a while until they are sold.  The dealer did tell me, however, that he had no problems getting more in that size....

Perhaps, it might be worth a call to your local dealer?
