Hi guys- After 35,000 miles, my tires are ready to be replaced. I have 12" wheels on my DL. I am really having a hard time finding 12" tires...seems like it was a lot easier 4 years ago when I bought my current tires. Are these size tires really becoming extinct? Should I find some larger wheels...13",14", or 15"? I managed to find two 155/80/12s but the dealer said even 13" tires are getting harder to source. What do you guys think? --Steve

Your right redmavis12, my first set was bought about 4yrs ago and when I bought another set back in September from the same outfit, there selection went from 4 to 2. The salesman told me at that time that 12"er`s were becoming an exotic size and that 13" er`s are starting to become a pastime. I hear what your saying seattlejusty but I live in the heart of the rustbelt and the cars your mentioning are almost non-existent in my neck of the woods. I`m not kidding when I say that I truely believe that I have the only Gen1 justy on the road in a 150mi. radius. If there is no demand for 12`s around the entire country except for the salt-free zones then it`s only a matter of time for 12`s to be extinct. Hell, I`m still looking for a 12" M/S tire and found a set on EBAY, but funds are to tight right now with 3 in college and 2 more coming. I still have my eyes on a STI after it`s all paid off... For right now, I can only afford to buy and gas a Justy>LMAO
