14-inch Potenza RE-71 RIP

["Smith, Kirby A" <kirby.a.smith@lmco.com>]

I am informed by the Tire Rack that they no longer stock the Bridgestone
Potenza RE-71 tires in 195/60VR14 size, or other 14-inch sizes.  Although
they are still listed on the Bridgestone web site, my local source claims
these tires are no longer available.   Waaahhh.  These perform very well in
wet and dry conditions on my 90q, and wear acceptably with spirited driving.
(4/ 32s wear in 13000 miles.)  I was anticipating replacing them with like
type, but will have to start considering alternatives.  (Or else upgrade to
15-inch wheels.)
