I will never be ready for Pebble Beach.  :D.
We were there this past weekend, in our Camry:-( Nice real estate! We did see a brand new shiny Red SLS AMG along with lots of other four wheel exotica tooling around. I hear the golf course is pretty nice too:-)

Told ya.

Told ya what?  The proper size for our tires (FWIW at this point in the game...) is properly denoted as an "E" Metric as E185/80HR-14.

E Metric
185MM Width
80 Series Aspect Ratio (when not noted, 80 is the default ;))
H speed rating
R radial
14 diameter.

The Uniroyal is NOT listed on the website today in a 185-80.  I'm not in the market, but if it does not come up on their tire selector I'd like to assume it isn't in production any longer?  Kind of moot as we are at the mercy of an ever-decreasing selection of tires... >:(

Gus and Jordan seemed to like the Uniroyals just fine, either in closer to original 185 or 10mm wider 195.
