    Unfortunately the tire store is right. There used to be a 195/75/15 but has been gone for about one year. We do have a 185/80/15. I'll give you a comparison of specs to help.

    205/75/15: 27.1" height, 5.1" tread width, 8" section width
    185/80/15: 26.7" height, 5" tread width, 7.7" section width

    Hope this can help you. Visit www.dbtires.com to see our full product line.

    Hey try 205/70/15. I'm in the prossess of setting up some whites as well. 195/70's are hard to find but do exist.

    we used the 205/70/15s , a little shorter than the 75 series tire. Available pretty much anywhere, too.
