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.
