Pls could someone confirm or deny my suspicions? My tyres are 195/80/15 and seem to be as rare as a truthfully spoken politician. I have phoned many many tyre places based in Norwich and not one has my tyre in stock! My suspicion is do they only make that size tyre when someone orders it? Do land rover hold the copyright for this size tyre? And do they have little men in a factory somewhere ready to make a set and ship them out after there little red phone rings?

What vehicle is it ? It sounds like a standard full profile tyre. VW golfs of the lesser type run 175/80/14 always had to order them.
Ask your tyre man if you can run 205s they may fit and be available.

Have a look on blackcircles, there was a decent selection.
