Tires: tire size replacement issues, tire placard, doorpost

Question
i am having a hard time finding used tires for my truck..... size 225/75r14.  What are my options, while watching my bank account?

Answer
Gina,

Let's start with the basics:

On every vehicle sold in the US, there is a sticker – commonly called the tire placard - that lists the original tire size and the proper pressure for that size.  The placard is usually located on a doorpost or in the glove box – but sometimes it is located in the trunk or on the fuel filler door.

BTW, it doesn't matter who makes the tire or what pressure is listed on the tire's sidewall, if the tire size is the same as the placard, then the pressure listed on placard is also appropriate.

Id the P225/75R14 the size listed on the vehicle tire placard?

If not, what does it say?

Oh and I'm sorry, but I can't give you any recommendation for brand, etc.  I work for a major manufacturer of tires and shouldn’t make brand specific comments.
