Slightly different is that my Minor has 155/14 Firestones that were starting to crack.
I enquired about matching replacements was was told Firestone hadn't made them for years and the ones you buy as NOS.
I suspect the same will be happening with the 145/15.
I know with my Volvo P1800 (155/15) they took the same size as Beetles and locally all the tyre places said no longer stocked but could easilly get to order in couple of days unfortunaltey now limited no. of manufacturers and therefore quite expensive.
The old "supply & demand" syndrome.
