Alex,
The first thing you should do is check the tire date stamp on your tire as
the DOT has an advisory about aged tires ( http://tinyurl.com/3rwx42 ).
Basically anything older then 6 - 10 years old should be replaced no matter
how good they look as they can rot from the inside out.
Tire Rack has a great site ( http://tinyurl.com/2ttjpj ) that covers
everything from reading the sidewall to Tire size conversion (

Subject: [TR] TR6 tires
List!
I'm digging out the TR6 from the garage and find that one of the tires got
cut in the garage over the winter (who knows how?)
Presently it has Goodyear GT+4 195 70 15 on it.
After 20 minutes on the web, it appears no one carries this size tire
anymore. I really don't want to buy 4 new tires as the other three are fine.
What are people recommending in this instance. I know I've seen several
discussions about tire and sizes here, but as I was not in the market then,
I did not pay as much attention as I probably should have.
Any help appreciated.
TIA
Alex
