He used a larger tire than you indicated though. Cooper ,from what I understand, is the only American tire company left. Cooper made a deal a while back to make tires for Sears. I don't know which ones. I know Michelin makes tires for Sears too. I just saw a Syncro westy that had 205/R14 Roadhandler tire
