<VV> Tires

Mike,
>From what I've seen Maxis no longer has these tires either. Their US  
headquarters is in Duluth, GA.
I emailed them and was told that they are discontinued and that there were  
none in their warehouses. I got mine from Clark's. lclc also has had them. 
The  ones I got from Clark's were of recent manufacture. Oct., 2010. I 
haven't  installed them yet.

Good  evening everyone,

I've been looking on the internet for tires, don't  remember if it's been 
brought up here lately.  I came up with Maxxis 90S  MA-1 in size 185-80-13.  
Everything else in this size has been  discontinued as far as I can tell.  I 
read that at least one Corvair  person was using these tires, but that was 
at least a year ago.  Wondered  what people thought about them after they 
got some miles on them.

I  also found I could buy BFGoodrich Silvertowns for almost 200 apiece.   
I'll pass on those.  Silvertowns are nice tires, though, I had some on a  59 
Ford.

I'm going to contact my local tire store tomorrow whose  website says they 
sell Maxxis.  Hope they have some good  news.
