stamar Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 http://m.samsclub.com/ip/185r14c-99-97-r-rbl-michelin-4x4-agilis/149361 I already have six new tires but i ran across these. They are only available in store in the bay area and sacramento sorry p For someone who has to have a top brand. I believe these are summer tires as opposed to hankooks all season but look up th reviewz yourself. Michelin being french have more truck tires overseas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 "Not Available" http://www.michelinman.com/tire-selector/category/light-truck/agilis/tire-details#techspecs http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&ef_id=UmQ1TwAABfNP-DML:20140127060806:s&s_kwcid=AL!3756!3!28350735488!p!!g!!michelin%20agilis&tireModel=Agilis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamar Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Only available at sams club and the 8 stores that come up around sacramento and the bay Yokohama y356 are the only kind tire rack carries. Those are another good summer tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 From YOUR Sam's Club link above:- "This item is not available for delivery." Tirerack.com DOES carry the Michelin Agelis but not in 185R14. It appears that Michelin (according to their site 'Limited Availability') is only importing 1 size (205/65R15) to cater to the newer VW market. Perhaps you can direct link any of the 8 stores you say are stocking and selling them. How much are they selling for? I'm sure many would like to know.

stamar Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 The eight that come up are two in sac one in rosevilld etc the closest to me is concord 119 dollars. Not available for delivery means you have to go to the store. When i click which store 8 come up. Michilin doesnt sell these tires here they could be old or imported. You can definitely get them. People with vw vans sell these and conti csis imported fro. The uk From there you will have to call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What! No 'Direct Link'? Showing the $119 of course. Otherwise it's all 'smoke & mirrors'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamar Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Nope its based on your phone location that is a direct link to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Convenient. Well, nobody on the net seems to post them as being available (with or without a price) in 185R14. So I'll just chalk it up as another urban legend until someone can find something official. I'm certainly not going to run up my long distance bill phoning Sam's Club in California.

linda s Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well my post didn't come through but when I first read this I was in Lincoln, Ca about a mile from the Roseville Sams Club. I stopped there on the way out of town and asked about the Michelins. Guy that worked there checked but he never heard of that model and couldn't find it in his computer. He said everything they have in store is listed in his computer. I know Sam's Club had some Bridgestone 603's listed not long ago and they haven't been made since 2002. Everything on the internet isn't true Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Using 'Search' on their site for the term 'Agilis' turns up only 1 result:- http://www.samsclub.com/sams/michelin-agilis-205-65r15-c-102t/149338.ip?searchTerm=agilis No sign of any 185R14 tires. And it never asked me for my phone number. What's up with that? Maybe Joel has a direct line to Sams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Only available at sams club and the 8 stores that come up around sacramento and the bay I sent an email directly to Michelin (USA). Their reply:- Thank you for your interest in Michelin tires, Derek. Our records show that the 1990 Volkswagen Westfalia comes with original equipment tire size 185R14. Based on this information, we do not manufacture a tire that meets your vehicle or tire specifications. Upon further research the Agilis tire in a 185/R14C (Part#08268) is only available for ordering in Mexico . There are no plans to import that size of tire into the United States as the demand for that size of tire is not in market. We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Michelin. Michelin Consumer Care So is Sacramento and the Bay Area part of Mexico again? http://www.michelin.com.mx/tire-selector/name/agilis-tires#techspecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So who in Mexico is driving WHAT that would use that tire. Seems there are more vehicles in the US who would need it. Dumb and dumber. I no longer think Michelins are good tires anyway I paid extra for my handicapped brothers van cause it had all new Michelins on it. Didn't want him to get a flat cause he can't change a tire or deal with strangers all that well. Well I had to replace every tire. Developed bubbles on the side walls. No warranty cause we weren't the ones who bought them new. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naomi Crey Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I have a 1984 Ford Ranger minimotorhome. There seems to be a direct link between the Toyota's and the Rangers. I have a damaged rear dually inside rim that cannot be fixed. Where in the world will I find a 14 inch rim 5 bolt pattern for a dually system??? ANybody have any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yikes. I'm not sure how many were built on the Ford Ranger or what dually/'foolie' arrangement they used. Got any pictures you can post? Is it possible the inner rim (that's damaged on yours) is a standard Ranger rim that's modified? Is it the actual rim that's damaged?

ANybody have any advice Well the company that made your wheels in the first place can still make them http://www.customcommercialwheel.com/ But there are some other options. Tires are stronger than they used to be. You could buy some wider wheels for the back and run single wheels with a wider tire. Maxxis tires has some 205R14's and 215r14's that would work. You have to be careful though cause most tires this size are trailers tires. The Maxxis are commercial van tires so they are ok. Another option is switch out to 15 inch wheels and tires all around. Should be plenty of 15 inch wheels with that lug pattern in salvage yards so the big cost would be the tires Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well the company that made your wheels in the first place can still make them http://www.customcommercialwheel.com/ What sort of wheels/duallies are they? Are they like the Toyota 1-Ton (i.e. all 4 the same on the rear axle and interchangeable) or like typical 'foolies'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamar Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Its what came up in google shopping so trying to pass it on. No guarantees.

stamar Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I dont like michelin truck tires at all. Plenty of vw van owners like the agilis they order them from europe. If that is your goal to go by brand only. My tires are all new and I wont shop for a long time for the dolphin. ..but if I buy a second toyhome I want to put summer tirez on it so I shop once in a while. Either yokohama 356 or contintal vanco 8s or hopefully something new gets introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
