the low end econoboxes come with 16" tires anymore. Seems hard to believe 
that 60's era muscle cars often came with 14" tires. Maybe as designers need 
more space to cram batteries into cars smaller tires will make a comeback. 
Then again to handle the weight, maybe not".

Yesterday, Michelin announced from their Pictou County, Nova Scotia tire 
plant that they were laying off 500 workers (plant has been there for over 
43 years) due to the falling demand for "small" 14" to 16" tires.

Looks like my 15" Minilites will be going the same way as the 13" originals.
