[NoVa-Corvairs] Tire Availability - P185 80R13

[rvtum at verizon.net]

Republic Tires were made by Goodyear, but I think Goodyear stopped making them a year or two ago. So they will be at least a year or two old. Since this guy is a local Goodyear dealer, his rep is on the line so I'm hoping he won't sell me junk.  I stopped by his shop tonight and he is going to check on the manufacture date and the size of the white wall.  He has offered a bulk discount but I'm not sure yet what it would be.  I should know more tomorrow.  I'll keep the group posted if this turns out to be a good source.  The guy also owns 68 Corvair among his collection of other classsics.

Hi Ron,

You might want to see if they can tell you the country and date of manufacture. There are a lot of old and/or made in China tires floating around out there.
