Oh I'm quite serious.

This is the same answer I got earlier this year by email from Michelin USA about again offering the Pilots they stopped making in matched DeLorean OE sizes about 10 years ago.

Polite & encouraging but not a commitment. And nothing from them since then...

We appreciate your request for the Radial T/A P195/60R14. Unfortunately, David, we do not manufacture this tire. Your request will be forwarded to the appropriate Marketing Group for future consideration.

For your information, we have been receiving several requests for these tires. All these requests are forwarded to the correct department.

We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing BFGoodrich.

According to the BF Goodrich site the Radial T/A are not available as 205/60/14s... you can get them with a different aspect ratio as 205/70/14s. Maybe that's what you're running. You might want to check.
What are you running in back? Standard 235/60/15s or maybe 235/70/15s to match if your running 70s up front???

Yes- I do believe that mine are 70's in front...Which would make the tire a bit taller. But again, we are dealing only in Millimeters. My rears are stock size. No matter how you slice it, what I did works. It is important to understand what tire sizes really mean. Most people do not understand what those numbers stand for...

True... But unless my math and understanding is wrong the second number is the aspect ratio - Height of sidewall to width of tire. In this case the difference between a 60 and a 70 is actually about 2 cm - probably still not noticeable. I might go 70s in front and back so as to keep all things equal.

Just wanted to add that I have been sending an email to BF Goodrich every Monday since the start of this thread.

I have gotten basically the same answer, but I figured it was good to be persistent.

Thanks.

Ambiguous post is ambiguous.

Ambiguous post is ambiguous.

Really? Seems pretty self explanitory to me. Allow me to clarify;

I'll have an update shortly in regards to our request to have BFG revive the 195/60/14. I'm hunting down one last lead.
