I wish 14's were still cheap. They are being phased out now that most new cars come with 16 and 17" wheels standard. I went looking for a 14" trailer tire the other day and they wanted $140! Granted, that was the nicest trailer tire in that size they had, but still.

I hope the 14's don't go the way of the TRX tires at $550 a pop from pen 15er tire and they have the exclusive on them.

I upgraded to 10 holes on my 87 bird because tires were $200 cheaper in a stockish size with 15" rims.

Trailer tires are different due to load ratings, e.g. number and type of plys used in the construction of the tire. This, and not the wheel diameter, is what raises the cost of the tire. On the other hand, a good set of trailer tires can last for 5+ years.
