    tires - stock 195/65/14 - hard to find- suggestions???

    I am having a hard time finding choices for replacement tires. Does anybody have any suggestions of tires that they like. I have BF Goodrich traction t/a now, but I think they discontinued them in our size.

    For serious? Learn how to search better and create new threads less.

    There are PLENTY of options out there. Just so i'm a help in this thread. Falken ziex 912.

      195/60-14 was also a stock size. I've had decent luck finding many more options in that size.

          Philo, yes I am fucking serious. That is the famous saying around here, "search". I guess the search function sucks ass on this site. If you type in the tire size or "stock tire size" a ton of results do not show up. I have called my local tire shops, costco and BJs and right now my choices are "GEOSTARS" or Brigestone potenza passenger car tires. That is all. The BFG traction t/a is no longer made. I was trying to avoid having to mail order friggin tires for a basic tire replacement. Hence the friggin question.
          I am a member on many different types of forums and this site should cool off with the stupid ass "search" comment. If you don't like the question, skip it and move on to the next thread.

            On early chassis cars.

            Toyo tires come to mind.

                I'm going to guess that he meant to search the intarwebz for that size, not just r3v......

                I'm scootin' on Sumitomos (HTR4+ or something like that) - they were pretty cheap compared to Michelins and a little bit less than the BFGs/Bridgestones.

                I'm happy with them. Good traction (once warm) and nice soft feel. I'm willing to bet one of your local shops could order them for you.

                Good luck!
