Subject:Tires: Mission impossible 205 70 r14

Vanagon insanity gets deeper with this development.  What the duck? I have called all over the universe and only found a few last stores of the 205s, everyone is encouraging me to go to 185s (which exist for the 14 rims) or to consider moving fd to a 15 inch rim where light truck tires abound.

Right now I drive on the increadible unsafe mix of 2 bald 205s in the back, one cracked-and-wobbly-to-the-point-of-buffeting- at-25-50 mhp front passenger 205 and one NON reinforced standard car 205 tire. I've already blown out the other standard car tire, and hence my cracked and wobbly spare a-buffeting away. Look out I'm on the road! (It's a passive suicide attempt, apparently)

Any leads on these tires?  I've found a cashe of Firestones using a construction tire connection for $75 (I'm getting 4 and sparing the 2 rear tires incase this happens again).  I have to drive to work 3 days/ week and I loathe doing it on this mix.  What have other people been doing when this happens to them?

Sincerely
