Sourcing uncommon tyre sizes

[Izza]

Hi folks,

Was trying to find a set of 175/60 R15 tyres but none of the places I called has these in stock. In fact some places mentioned they have never had this size. Any idea on a shop which might stock such tyres?

Thanks @Rickyland. However, practically getting this down from E*ay etc. is not possible since the import tax will be huge.

I talked with a couple local tire agents, and some of them mentioned that they are awaiting shipments and this size will be available once they get the stocks. So, will be waiting till then.

Thanks @kirala2. Saw the same, but they are also out of stock.

did you contact Autodrome?

If no one has this particular size, then maybe there is an alternate size which you can use at least  until the correct size becomes available.....

Yeah, I did. They have a shipment due around December. This is actually for a tire up-sizing purpose.. Going from 14" to 15". Can wait till this size is available, not urgent.. Hence did not think of going for an alternate size.
