Have always bought used tires for the older vehicles that ive ever owned. Mostly cheap and still the tires were functional and as long as the car drove decently, I never cared if they were used. However, nowadays many used tire places are telling me that the tires made for 14inch rims are rare, 15inch are getting rare, and 16inch still have a few more years left on the markets. The explanation the guy gave me was that some of manufacturers are not making the smaller rim sizes tires much or not at all. He suggested that I get some 17inch rims for my vehicle since those sizes are plenty on the market. (supposedly) Problem is my vehicle is a
2002 ford escort and the thought of buying brand spanking new 17inch rims is sorta outa of the question, (the car has bout 250k miliage) do they even sell used 17inch rims made for 4 bolted tire mounts?Edwin
