Barney,
Perhaps we're talking two different sizes, mine would be 14 inch and
yours would be 15? I know I was told back in 93 that Dunlop had discontinued
the sp4 in14 inch. The store had my cash in hand on a Sunday and called on
Monday and said they were no longer available from the factory. Took two
weeks to receive my refund from their main office. (Western Auto) I got
lucky and found a dealer in Colorado Springs that had four of them on the
shelf. Before I found the four locally, I had friends on both coasts looking
for me as well as people in the heartland. They all eventually came up with
about three sets of tires. Boy I wish I had stocked up then.
Bill in Colorado
ps If anyone works for a major auto manufacturer, why not convince the
company to supply 165-14's on your next compact car. I'm sure Dunlop would
begin manufacturing them again.
