Last year at this time when I tried to find Hakka 185R14 CS here in the
Seattle area there were none to be found in NAm I tried three diferent
sources.  It was explained to me that there was one big shipment a year, in
the Spring, to the US and Canada and when they were gone they were gone
until the next Spring.  So when I went looking again in July of this year I
had no trouble finding them and got competing quotes from two sources.  Phil
Zimmerman had the same problem  early last Spring finding Nokian tires in
16" in Canada.
