Nuts. Yeah, I just called TireRack where I got mine this summer and
he confirmed that they were discontinued and he doesn't have any
left in stock either. He offered a Firestone and Kumho in 165R15.
The Coopers are big with old beetles, same size, so maybe they'll
be available next year. Funny that the big three vendors are making
almost every little bit for our cars and soon we won't be able to get
tires that fit.
