My tire options seem limited for my stock 14's

[Chilezen]

I currently have 195/65/R14 (see my sig for car pics). Tires are now nearly bald. I'm looking on TireRack, and there are veeery few options within similarly-sized tires. I'd prefer something in the category of high-performance summer; I don't need all-seasons here in sunny Southern California.

Any recommendations?

This is the best I could find

I can't find decent summer tires, I'm limited by all-seasons and track. Price range is $75-$125.

Preferably, a tire 24" or greater would look better at filling the empty wheel arches, but then having too flexible a sidewall would kinda suck. Hmmm.

Buy some 16" wheels with tires mounted from discount tire direct . com.
I got my wheels and tires from them for $575 mounted, balanced, and shipped to my door. Much better selection of tires as well.

Would you be surprised to hear I like my wheels, and don't want new ones?

Seriously? There's like 3 good options for 16's. If you really want good options, you need 15's or 17's.

OP, stock wheels are cool. Just hard to find tires for.

Tire choice in 16" sucks.

Haha what, he's right.


Unfortunately, high performance but not race 14" tires are beginning to go extinct.

Right, I saw track tires, some toyos for $157 a pop. I'm told they don't wear well on the street.

Can anyone recommend the tires in the link I posted?

I have run 205/60/14 on stock bottlecaps. Not too pricey and a better selection than 16 inch tires. Just my 0.02 cents.

Pretty much down to slicks these days in that size.

Onlinetires still has a decent selection of 14s for an e30 and cheap too if you can pick them up it would even better but it was only like 58$ for the cheapest 14 shipped last time I looked so it's an option

Falken Azenis RT-615k in 195/60/14. I got some from America's tire a while back and so far have been quite satisfied.
