    Of course they are going to say that. That's why we need to keep requesting it. Never give up, never surrender!

    This effort most likely won't result in any tires for us and I think we understand that, but vocalizing our interest can't hurt one bit. Like Jonathan said, Andy Dufresne.
    Don't know how true it is, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. The marque has certainly come a long way, but thanks to the almost retard IQ level of the average member of the American public, it's still too toxic for major corporations to ever be associated with. I'm pretty sure that's why DMC was immediately dismissed in favor of the "sure to fail" Fisker when it came to taking over the old Delaware plant. Why save jobs and an entire local economy when we can just ensure we don't receive any bad PR from being associated with DeLorean? Same thing here. Any mainstream company that ever partners with the DMC marque runs the risk of their brand being associated with the old one from 3 decades ago. Sad, but it's the way it goes.

    Oh well.

    I got this response:

    Brandon, we apologize the BFGoodrich Radial T/A in size P195/60/14 tires have been discontinued and stock is not available for retailers to order. We appreciate the request for the discontinued tire and will forward the information to the appropriate Marketing Group for future consideration.


    This was considerably nicer than what some others have received. Perhaps they would like some more pestering.

    If I was going to pick a good tire to bring back in the original sizes, I'd ask for the Michelin Pilot Sports that were available up to about 9 years ago.
