Warning - Off Road Tires Replacement

[charliem]

[font size="3"]Just a word to the wise for those with LL's off-road tire package. The BFGoodrich LT195/75R14 tires are getting hard to find. I damaged one on a low rock wall and wanted to replace it. The tire dealers are telling me those are " hard to find', "going extinct", not being made in load range D", "can order but it's a week", etc. [/font][font size="3"]BFG's web site still lists the All Terrain T/A KO, but nobody stocks them. [/font][font size="3"]I'm waiting on a call from Goodrich, now made by Michelin, to see if they have a suggested replacement. The stock tires are STs rated  load range C, but I like the idea of LTs load range D. I'll post when I get an answer.

I always get my tires from TireRack. Looks like they still have them:

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]Thanks for the link. Looks like they ship tires anywhere. $130 plus $19 shipping plus mounting locally. I'll also check for a local source. An expensive lesson to watch out for low rock walls.
