Diamondback claims they will custom make any size you wish.  If you need a 
lot of 235's perhaps they will work a deal to keep costs low.

Hi to all,

Larry Jet¹s tires were 225 tires that are undersized for our cars. They drop
the height almost 2². That is why we bugged Coker to make the new 235/75R14
tires that matches the 9.00x14 original size. They seem to be performing
well and better than their 15² siblings. Just ask Pete Fitch. He had some
failures and replaced the 235 ­ 15² Coker WWW.

To the best of my knowledge, Coker is the only manufacturer that is making
the full size 235/75R14 regardless of whitewall.
They make a WWW and a 1² version.

Several have asked for the details of the tires destroyed  on the way  home
from Tahoe.  As is often the case, things end up being older than we  think
they are.  I bought these tires in October 1997 from Coker.  I  would have
thought maybe 2001.  They have maybe 3 thousand miles on  them.  They are
P225/75/R14 sized and are M+S with the following  words:  tread plies:  2
polyester and
2 steel belts.   sidewall plies:  2 polyester.
I suspect that Coker will side step the issue because of age so will listen
to Roger Shaaf's opinion and find some newer tech tires.  As to the racing
wheel option mentioned yesterday at Stockton Wheel, I will be ordering them
for
the F.  It is driven spiritingly if irregularly and the memory of George
Laurie changing lanes very quickly at blowout time last week plus my memory
of
the OEM wheel splitting on the inside from metal fatigue a few years ago
(the
next day after some 125 mph driving) makes the expenditure for new tires and
wheels easier to explain to the transportation committee at Jett Ranch.
Thanks to one and all for the kind words of the Tahoe Meet.  The cars are
very
important, but had this been the congregation of Pez Dispenser Lovers  of
America, it would have nearly as nice because of the  participants!  Hummm,
perhaps
I should package club conventions at Tahoe  and do it full time.
