What Vehicles Use 205/75-15 Tires?
|
Many Junkyard have good deals on "Used Tire" Today I came by a wreck front-end 1997 Dodge Caravan but it have perfectly new tires on all four, full deep tread and manufacturer in 2008. The guy would sell them to me for $25 each. One problem, it was a 205/75.....14. So close. I want to know what other vehicles use this size so I can look for some good tire at the salvage yard. I don't want to read tire by tire.
Few vehicles I know:
Earlier Nissan Quest/ Mercury Villager
Some GM S-10, Blazer, Sonoma...
Older Kia Sportage
Also, do you know or think there's any weird myth or curse with buying tires from wreck cars?

Really old RWD Chrysler 5th Avenues and Dodge Diplomats used them too, but you won't find them around much. In buying any used tire, look for a section of the tread that's been on the ground, IE on a 'yard car' too long. Pass on it if it shows cracks in the tread or shoulders. Check the bead areas (where tire meets rim) for tears or kinks; If the bead is compromised, it will leak. If the tire dismount tool really snags the bead, it can also tear the sidewall cord as it wraps around the bead. Roll the tire on a paved surface looking for any bulged tread areas that indicate broken belts. Look inside for any plugs: these should be left in place, but trimmed flush and patched over on the inside. Cuts in the sidewalls are OK if the cord is not visible in the cut. Once the tires are inflated on your wheels, they should be inspected again for obvious bulges in the tread and sidewalls. If they were just removed from a sitting vehicle, they will be flat-spotted. Let them rest without the vehicle weight on them for two hours or drive on them at low to moderate speed for at least two miles before balancing them or the balance may be incorrect. Finally, consider a P215/70R15 tire instead; It's only .37" smaller in diameter and it's more available than the P205/75R15. |

Safety..........you will never know if the tire has structure and or internal damage just by looking at it but the sad thing is that you will know when you are driving down a hot road at 65 mph and the tires blows..........its just not a good idea to buy tires from a salvage yard. |
