Longer lasting timing belts?

Trans & Diff lube
Tried that last week on my '94, with 140K. The fill plug is bloody tight,
could not get it open with an open ender. Make sure you undo yours before
you drain the oil.
Is there some secret I am...

195/55R14s, anyone still make them?
Not a lot of options. Anything wider on a 14" rim is rare in the USA,

195/55R14s, anyone still make them?
Dunlop.com show 195/5514s only in the SP8000 range, over here in Australia,
this has been superceded by the SP9000s. SP9000s don't come in 195/55R14,
like older SP8000s. Much the same story with...

Need to replace tyres on my 94, currently with standard 14x6 rims, fitted

performance tyres, but I can't find a single manufacturer...

Huh? I have never heard of a car hitting something hard enough to set of
the airbags & still be repairable. I guess Australian airbags are less
sensitive.
