There are some forum members that prefer to stay with factory stock size 165/65r14 tires. If you live/drive in a 4-season climate, the Vredestein Quatrac 5 tire may be one of the better 165/65r14 all-weather tire choices. For a long time tirerack.com has been carrying this tire, & their prices for it remained quite stable. I was a bit concerned when this 165/65r14 tire disappeared off their site. Thus, I inquired about it.
This was my inquiry to tirerack.com -
Year: 2017
Make: Mitsubishi
Model: Mirage ES
Question: For a long time, you have carried 165/65r14 Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires. They are no longer listed. Is this a permanent thing, or we will see them listed again in the future?
Since 165/65r14 is not a real common size in the States, Mirage owners are interested in this all-weather tire. This particular tire has been a popular topic item on mirageforum.com for quite some time.
Any input on its future for tirerack.com would be appreciate.
Thanks!

This was tirerack.com response back -
Thanks for your inquiry.
These tires will be back in the fall, but we are completely out of stock of them so that is why they are not showing up. We do have them on order are are expecting to have them back in stock this fall.
If you have any other questions or want to place an order, please feel free to contact me. If you are placing an order online, please be sure to reference my name on the order form in the box directly under the credit card number, so that I can watch over the order and expedite the process.
Best regards,

I was glad to see this response. I hope this tire continues to be available in the future. I hope to try it out some time in the future. I've been experimenting with different tires, & this one is surely on my list.
