    15" wheels just aren't near as popular as they used to be..Hardly any vehicles with OEM 15's anymore.

    They’re also getting older and will eventually be falling out of the tire buying market.
    No one said manufacturers are going to stop making tires for 15” rims any time soon, but they are already reporting that they’re selling more tires for 16” rims than 15” and they have to adjust their production accordingly.

    Status update don't know why I was so hesitant to call Sears in the first place. Not only did they have them in a nearby warehouse they didn't charge me any freight to get them into town and even with sales tax they were cheaper then any place I could buy them online and their price included valve stems, mounting, and balancing. I can't believe I worked so hard trying to locate them on the internet and in the end bought them from my local Sears Tire Center.

    Just goes to show a simple phone call/visit can be better than the confuser.

    Glad to hear you found what you were looking for!
