Hi all. Could not find a note by "Search". Did or can anybody report back on these tires? I think they are new, maybe imports in the $400- $500 range. Need a 14.00 R20 as I'm running a older spare. The Surplus ones are aging, and I ain't set up to buy and install 7 395's now. Thanks for any insight!

Yes, but size listed as the 14.00-20 and an E Bay vender has them when I did a "14.00 r20 Military tire" search. I may be limited to (aging) surplus but thought I'd ask on this site. Tires hold air A ok, but my one on rear is old enough to move to "spare-only" duty.

Agreed.... Maybe get mfg specs and load ratings....i believe ALWAYS better to error on side of caution.....

Yup- will leave to others..... funny/ sad: vender refused to tell where made, or if works with my (OEM) bead locks. I probably will find 1 non cracked 14 20 tire soon, 7 #395's when needed if the 14-20's USA supply really do die-out.

A seller on eBay has some nice-looking new Continental 14.00-20 super singles available. Pricey but probably worth it for that size.

That is crazy. A quick Google search and a few clicks confirmed made in China on their website.

I didn't intend to drag out this "Thread", just wanted to see if a could get some tire info. FYI- this is cut and past of what the tire vender said. Very less than helpful.

We are unable to check the origin of the tires as we do not have physical access to our warehouse, as well as manufacturer also does not provide the details of the country of origin in their product catalog.We are unable to check the origin of the tires as we do not have physical access to our warehouse, as well as manufacturer also does not provide the details of the country of origin in their product catalog.Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.Regards,Regards,SimpleTire eBay Support Team

That in and of itself would "scare me away" from any purchase from that tire vendor, period. Glad you're going a different route.
