Hmmm. Did the same search. lots of hits, but no Go Form in stock or available in the US. Simpletire & Tires Easy, and Amazon of all places do list several 205/70r14 and 205/75r14 in a load range of 95 and higher. IN stock. Velocity H188 ST205/75D14 C/6PR BSW Dominator PT500 ST205/75D14 C/6PR BSW Doral SDL-A 205/70R14 95S BSW Westlake RP18 205/70R14 95T BSW Sumic GT-A 205/70R14 95S BSW Nankang CX668 205/70R14 95H BSW Kumho Solus KR21 P205/70R14 95T BSW There is a Cooper tire and Firestone tire in 205-75r14 with load range > 1500#. 205-75r14's were on the van when I bought it, a bit bigger but still seem to fit ok in the spare tire carrier.

These are rated over 1500#, which is around the 1580# rating for the original 205-70r14 tires no longer available. For those on the road w/ a tire emergency, Amazon might be a good choice. Jon
