Good Catch GMW .
AFAIK , only Kumho and one other manufacturer offer that 2271 # rated 14 inch tire .
They are available in most towns of any size .
The Kumho can be delivered in 3 days from tire rack .
tire rack lists installers in your home town on their website .
And Kumho has a better distribution system than the Maxxis .
And a better tire .
Marty,
Off the top of your head, do you know which other 14" LT is available with that load cap ?
I do know you can still get a Hankook RA08 in a 14", but it is only available as a 185-14. It too is a LT or Commercial tire, and if I remember correctly is has a load cap of 1974 pounds at 65psi. You can get them at walmart or any dealer that carries Hankook can order them I suppose.
By the way, just as a point of reference a 185 commercial tire ( 82 series ) has the same overall diameter as a 205/75-14 ( or very close to it, depending on tire and brand.....there is some tolerance in actual sizing ).
The Kumho is also available in a 195-14. The tire rack site has all the specs on the Kumho in it's various sizes.
