I had trouble last year with 14s, too. Not even the local used shops had them. I had to get plowed at Goodyear for the things...

Paid too much for new tires when all I wanted was used jobs.

Well atleast you found some their. I never did. They told me something like, they havent had that tie size since the 70's.

Yep. I'm eventually going to have to upgrade to 15" rims just so I can get rubber on the blamed things...

I cant do that because their is absolutely nothing wrong with the wheels, plus one of them as a good tire on it. Just need one.

Are you keeping your eye on Craigslist?

Chances are anything you find will be very old. Old tires are not too safe to use, especially ones made in the 1970s or 80s!
BF Goodrich still sells many 14" sizes of their Radial T/A tires, but nothing as wide as a 295. |

Thanks for the info. But thats not goig to be wide enough. The other tire that is like new is a 295/60/14 the 245 will be too narrow.

It is "like new" but how old is it in years? Decades?
|

|
|||
|

Its about 7 years old. Great tread no cracks no dry rot low miles

You may have had it for 7 years but it probably was made long before. Have a tire vendor read the date code on the sidewall. I think they recommend 5 years max, regardless of how the tire looks.

Thats a good idea. So what your saying is eventually im going to have to get two tires instead of one, and not trust any used or NOS tires of this size?
