    No Tires for e30

    I can't find tires for my e30 anywhere! Tires on the car are 205/60/14 and no one seems to carry them. I can only special order them at $140+ each.. otherwise I have to use the 195/65/14 which there not to Many choices either. Please let me know if anyone knows where I can get the 205/60/14 at a reasonable price. Thanks

      You could get away with a 195/60/14. There are a few more options

              205/60-14 was not oem. Don't mistake what's on the car for original spec.

                      195/60/14 was one of the oem sizes, and there are a bunch of options. 185/60/14 is slightly shorter than stock but there are even more choices. And if you're stuck on 205/60/14, http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehi...allbrands.html

                          Try to call up some local independent tire shops. When I was on the hunt for some reasonably prices tires for my factory bottlecaps, they were able to hunt down some options that definitely don't start out at $140.

                              I might just get a new set of 16 inch wheels and be done with it. Thanks for all your help.

                                      This sounds kind of ridiculous, but I ran into this same issue this year and just decided to get a set of 16" wheels so I don't need to worry about tire selection for a long time.

                                              That's what I'm going to do and then get the 195/65/14 for the winter.
