Re: front runner tires?
It's stamped on the wheel.
I've often thought that's why they don't make them anymore and also why they went to 4.5" wide wheels as they can be DOT approved then. Kurt

I'll have to have a look at my skinnies and see if they have anything stamped on them. I suspect they don't make 15x4 wheels any more because 15x4 rim shells are no longer available, but I suppose they could make rim shells themselves if they REALLY wanted to.
