Answer
Jack,

I think you're going to find that they don't make recaps in that size.

Personally, I'm not a fan of recaps for passenger and light trucks, as the casings aren't designed for retreading and tires are especially sensitive to heat, so I don't even want to think about a recap in AZ.

BTW, I've been doing some paper research and the conclusion I've come to is that in AZ, CA, NV, NM, and FL, tires should be removed from service when they reach 6 years old, regardless of how much wear they have.  Even brand new ones are suspect.

I know, that's 2 messages you didn't want to hear, but it's better to know.

Hope this helps.
