I ordered the Austone about a month ago, only to get an email the next day saying they are out of stock, should be in the end of March. I canceled the order. I called to check the Austone availability a couple days ago, & universal vintagetire co said they now won’t be in till the end of April. Plan B was the champiro. Was going to order today but l see Walmart is out of stock, go figure. I thought I read somewhere that the champiro could be had under a different brand name. Any suggestions? Never tried a Shinko, maybe I’ll try one of those before trying the dark side. My current Avon is unsafe (salami skin), so I need something soon. Though the weather here in upstate NY is crap, so I’m not missing anything.
Thanks, Shape

I've used this Shinko SE890 Journey. Get about 8,500 miles. Champiro about 14,000 miles. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=champiro+vp1&rmvSB=true&_sop=12&_fspt=1&_mPrRngCbx=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xchampiro+vp1+P205%2F60R-16.TRS1&_nkw=champiro+vp1+P205%2F60R-16&_sacat=0 |

If you need another option, the Hankook Optimo H426 is very similar. I'm running my 2nd one.
205/60R16 is closest to stock
205/65R16 is a bit taller, which will bring the RPM's down at highway speeds.
