Bummer, I just checked the Nokian website and the tires that I previously
purchased are no longer available in 185r14. Looks like my choice to
upgrade to a larger rims was necessary. I've got GoWesty 16 inch steel ones
now, I went with steel because I seem to bend rims every so often - usually
involving black ice and curbs.
