    Stay calm brezzi, no one is bullshitting you in here. Its incredibly hard to find tires in 14" nowadays, even a total POS corolla comes with at least a 15" wheel. The manufacturers just aren't producing them anymore, so you're left with old stock. It took me two weeks to find a pair of 205/60s a couple months back to replace damaged tires.

    You have few choices in size and even fewer in brand, none are really performance oriented. In two years, there will likely be none. My advice is to invest in a 15" or 16" wheel, just so you can have a choice of what tire to run. Or end up like me and have to wait to find a damn tire, because no store will stock it.

      I am calm. Thank you for your input as well, I'll definitively consider a larger wheel in the future.

        You are the rude one moron.

        Ill go ahead and post where ever I want, about whatever I want thanks.

        You posted that you were ignorant, and then you insulted me for trying to help you.

        You are totally ignorant, you dont even know where to look for tires, but you insult me like I dont know how to use the internet.

        You dont know how to use the internet rocket scientist. Get it touch with that.

        You can order people to do stuff I guess but in this forum you are assistant dishwasher and no one cares. Who on earth would make an idiot like you in charge of anything?


        You couldnt understand when I told you to look for the tire first, and then worry about the size. So I said it again SLOWLY.

        I didnt think it would be that hard to understand. But believe me Ive worked with disabled people who need everything repeated several times before it sinks in.

        There are only about 5 195/65/14 tires in h rated sizes. Some of those you listed are actually not h rated they are scam sites.

        when you go to 205/60/14 there are even fewer.

        Did I say that? Why do you have a problem understanding that? am I stupid for tell you that? No, one of us is really stupid and ignorant and we all see it. Thanks. Stay out of your thread. Someone who is looking for answers might read something you wrote and not realize your head is way up your butt until its too late.

          if you are upgrading size

          The real tires dont come in our size until 16 inch wheels. If you wanted summer performance tires someday.

          15 inch increases the selection but its still bad.

            the only cars today with 14 inch wheels do not need h rated tires.
            We are at the end of the line.

            If you can put passenger tires on your car you can ride out 14 inch wheels but were at the end for performance tire.

            Honda civics and acura integras kept using them into the 90s thats what were riding the end of.

            The last time someone asked this there was actually one more brand to choose from, and now when I answer it its gone. kuomos.

            Basically theres falkens and hankooks. They are both decent. if you want 205, theres only falkens 512s from discount tires.

            falkens handle really well I love them. they last horrible.
            hankooks handle mediocre and last a long time.

            Theres also sumitomos at tire rack. sumitomo and falken are the same company though.. the most exciting thing ive seen is in your list someone has a lot of yokohamas. If they arent expired they could be great. Its a risk though.



            theres other ones federal and nanking. those are chinese I dont like them and, they cost more.

              Fair enough. I recognize I shouldn't have been quick to insult. Still dont feel like I deserve some of your responses, but I can accept that you were trying to make a point. Honestly I hate arguing over the internet with people I'll never actually see or come into contact with. So again thanks for your input and have a nice life.
