Hi NG,

I nicked the sidewall of a tire on a rock curb, seems tire is irrepairable.
So get a new one, most larger tire retailers will have them . ... wrong.

seems Dodge picked a tire size  255 65r16 for stock 2wd Dakotas that no
else uses.  One retailer can get one from a 'reserve' in California,
otherwise its 3 wks as they are beginning production for more this very
week  ! ! !

This retailer's story must be true as others just said no or not in
stock...

Will wait for the single Goodyear Eagle LS this time but come replacement
of all four, I'm changing brands and size.

Thanks but,

That is the US,US$ plus shipping in US$,plus taxes upon entry to Canada...
Whats the point of shopping online for something thats going to cost the
same or more and who's going to install it if it not bought from them ?

Point was for all the dakotas no local vendor could find one in short time,
dealer could in a few days vs a whole week but it was $120 more !  ...

Well, you didn't mention you were in Canada...so you're on your
own I guess.  :^)

Did you try OK Tire? They have quite a few and are all over Canada.
