i just went in and put two on my boat trailer the other day, 32 bucks each installed and no wait...but that was at canadian tire.

Blade, where are you from? If you can't find any and can't order them, I know a place that can, and they usually only take a couple days tops. Let us know. There may be someone near you that has some spares.

I can get them new from a hole in the wall tire shop here in town.. they're $61 plus tax a piece plus shipping.. but there are better deals out there

[bhazard]

Just grab some metro 13's.

[Sandm849]

The prices are great. Problem is that they want 82 to ship four tires ground.

That's what is kind of nice about living in an area that's still fairly well populated with Festers. My shop keeps 8 on hand all the time. As soon as they sell one, or more, they reorder to keep 8 on hand.

Well, they are in CA...

Get Metro/Swift 13" rims, or 1986 - 89 Mazda 323 13" rims. Much better tire availability, and much higher quality tires too. The 12" tires available now are all crap by comparison. IMO the best overall compromise tire is the Sumitomo 165/70x13 all-season. Wears well, 70 series for better handling, 165mm wide, won't rub anywhere. Tire Rack, $46:

I paid $50 per tire mounted, balance, and lifetime free rotation. I have had no troubles or issues of any kind with them, and would recommend them to anyone who can get them. I can get them for you if you want, but if you are not close, you will still have shipping costs to deal with.

dude go to the junkyards! sometimes they have fresh new tires or very good ones off festivas size 12's! and they be cheaper as well!

[miami man]

i got my 12 inch tires off a geo metro in the junkyard

[perucho]

If you are close by, I have 4 tires with steel wheels in good shape that you can have for free IF you pick them up. Don't want to ship them anywhere.

i appreciate all the help
finally found some had to drive a ways to get them put on but i only needed 2 didn't want to go with 13" rims and have to buy 4 new ones which might or might not have cost me more
took them forever to mount 2 tires and now my alignment is screwed pulling badly to the right guess i'll have to take it somewhere tomorrow or next day whenever i get out and get it aligned

the thing that really ticks me off is i ordered tires last week
the guy told me he had exactly what i needed... 155/r/12
i went there on monday... they were 13's
stupid kid actually stood there and told me there has never been a 12 on a car in the us... i was happy to just about shove his face right onto my wheel... too bad it wasn't rotating might have raised the iq level in this area a few points by process of elimination

neway at least i got tires on it after alignment if arty ever messages me back i'll know what coil and such i need and can do some small maintence/upgrades
