HELP!
I cannot find tires with these specs anywhere!
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't risk taking my truck back up to Jacksonville without changing these tires out!

you are looking in the wrong places..  look for truck tire stores...  not passenger tires ...

if you were in los angeles i could send you to several tire dealers and one wholesaler that has them...

that is not a size tire rack is going to have

post a zip code were you are and i will try to find a tire shop and paste the info.

it might also be nice to know what kind of truck they fit on...  and a model...

google .. enter "truck tires near (your zip code) "

there are at least 5 different brands that make that size...  

I live in a Harrisburg,IL  62946.  I need to find tires for my 1989 Isuzu flatlow truck.  The tires are 185/70R15.5 on the rear axel.  You said you know several tire dealers in los angeles and one wholesalers who carry these tires.  Would you please send me this information?

ooh... thats translated from russian...

winter tyres Dunlop SP LT 01 185/70 R15.5 for VAN & light truck
Sizes
185/70 R15.5 106/104 L Dunlop SP LT 01 tires made in Japan  

AS SOON AS YOU HERE FROM YOUR WHOLESALER. LET ME KNOW WHEN HE CAN GET THEM.SO I CAN CONTACT HIM  

i just called dunlop....  that tire size is not available anywhere in north america...  i talked to the corporate office.. ..

i have to go right now.. i am still waiting for the call back from my tire guy...      he sells tires all over so cal...  to other tire shops..

i am not trying to hide the company.. but one call will let everyone know..

there has been talk of using 16 inch rims off slightly newer NPR trucks..    

and that is probably the best way to go...  that way if you get a flat somewhere...  you can get a tire almost anywhere..

i will be back online later  this afternoon...  

bad news....  he made a bunch of calls....   there are NONE available in north america....

he sells enough tires that he caught chinese tire salesmen wondering around his warehouse. trying to figure out how he sells so many tires....

i don't know about importing some from japan... air freight from japan is easy now a days..   if the tires had a DOT number on them.. is another problem..   they might not make it through customs.. with out the US dot approval..

i did just call toms truck center in santa ana ca...
the service writer there told me that they have been swapping in 89 to 95 rear ends that came with 16 inch tires... as they have 6 bolt pattern wheels...    the 15.5 inch wheels come with a rear end that has 7 bolt pattern wheels...   he quoted me a price of about $1,800 if they have a good used rear end that can be swapped over... and will supply good used rims and good used tires with it...   if they have the used rear end available..

so off to the wrecking yards you go..Npr's with 6 bolt pattern rear wheels...  i hope this helped..

i think he also said that some came with 17.5 inch wheels with a 6 bolt pattern . thats the size you probably have on the front..

i hope that you don't have a weird bed design that won't allow a slightly larger tire...

wayne...

there is one last place to call...    if you absolutely need the 15.5 tires...   http://www.cokertire.com/

they deal with hard to find tires...   and deal world wide.. and probably have the resources to import a hand full of tires. as these seem to be just hard enough to find to make it part of their business..
