Hi Al, i really appreciate your feedback.  Here is where i'm currently  at:  
five different tire shops in this area (San Diego) have all checked  the 
trailer out.  all there efforts reveal no - i repeat no - trailer tire  for a 15 
inch rim that has an outside diameter of 26 inches, which is the  maximum that 
my wheel opening will take.  And every tire place cautioned me  against ever - 
i repeat - ever using car tires (which i have witnessed several  restorers 
using in order to solve my problem) for a trailer of this type.   So i guess my 
best solution is to find a spare tire rim at 14.5 and carry one  full mounted 
spare plus another unmounted tire so i don't get stranded somewhere  waiting 
for a ship-in of a 14.5 tire. Again i appreciate your comments and  support and 
home to return to favor sometime.  best regards, jim  -)

I recently had new rims and tires mounted on my newly aquired 23 ft 1970 sabre.  
I don't recalll the specifics of the sizes and I am at work so I can't go out and 
have a look right now, but if you call Sue at "Iowa Boys" on Lankershim blvd in 
North Hollywood she can either advise you or give you the # for the place that 
she uses all the time.  I think it is Discount Tire and they did a great job for 
me.  Log on to www.iowaboys.com

Good Luck

Hi Al, i really do appreciate your words of encouragement.  Most  dealers in 
the southern ca area can order 14.5 tires but rarely do they keep  them in 
stock.  That's why i think i'll go with the mounted spare plus an  unmounted 
tire.  i'll let you know when i get to the bottom line and the  total cost for 
this part of my efforts to get my 1958 Silver Streak Clipper  roadworthy.  and 
again my thanks go to you, jim  -)
