Hi Neil,

Have you talked to a Nexen tire dealer recently?

I inquired with my dealer recently, looking to replace two of the nexen
SV-820's I bought from them 2 years ago. I was told that the Nexen is
now available in Canada exclusively through Walmart, as of some time
last year. And the likelihood of Walmart listing an affordable 185R14 is
right up there with the August harvest of snowballs in hades.

Mind you, since the border isn't all that far from you; that isn't such
a barrier as it might be for other folks...

Happy Trails,
