Re: rims and tires 16" (krazymarine)
No, absolutely not.
Maybe they're not keeping 16" tires in stock because they don't sell a lot of them. But they can still order anything you want (and plenty of 16" tires continue to be manufactured and sold). They're just trying to sell you what they stock, not what you need. Go elsewhere for your tire needs.
You can always buy the tires you need via the Internet (or phone) and have them shipped to you, from dealers like Tire Rack, Discount Tire (they will still sell tires your local DT retailer won't), Vulcan, etc.

Re: (FalkenSiR)
If that were true, then why did Bridgestone just release a new 16" fitment of their RE-01R tire? Granted, that came along with their first 15" offering from that line, but if 16's were a dying breed why would they decide to release new sizes for 16's?
