    Two Pirelli P6000 tires. 185/70 or 195/65 15

    Need 'em to match a pair of 215/60 rears on a set of 7 & 8 X 15s.

    Hey Bill,

    After not stocking them for a while Tire Rack shows them in stock again. 185/70 and 195/65 now N3s, and now $300+ each. Stoddard also has the 195/65 @ 300+ each.

    Thanks, I've generally seen 'no stock' on listings. But I'd prefer used because it seems to me like that price is based on the fact it's the only performance tire with proper fit for 15 X 7 & 8, and all the off-brand alternatives are <$100...

    Understood. I'm pretty satisfied with the fit of 195/65 on 7s all around, and with the performance except when the temperatures drop below 50°F.

    I have 2 185s that have been mounted but only rolled around the shop. 16 or 17 date code I think. Not going to make it to the lit meet but maybe you could find someone going from Phoenix to haul them out for you.

    Agreed. I'm at a point where I need to replace my tires, and the cost seems to be just based on low availability, and significantly higher than what I expected.
