Best 14" street legal DOT tires?

Just got done running at Infineon last weekend and my new Azenis are now my wasted Azenis. I can find another set for around $50 to $75 a piece, but I'm wondering what else is out there in 14" that's comparable. Some of the places I'm looking no longer carry them and it looks like it won't be long before they're impossible to find. I know there are more options for 15/16 inch wheels, but I need two sets when I'm on the track and buying a set of 8 new rims and tires isn't in the budget right now.

Anyone have good experiences with street legal 14" tires for the track?

I think the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec has an appropriate 14" size now.

That will probably be your best choice.

$96 a pop for the Z1s from tire rack, before shipping or tax. I think I'm going to keep buying $50 Azenis until I get new wheels.

Where are you guys still finding the Azeni 615s in 14"? Discount Tire Direct has them still listed on their site but this is out of date. I ordered a set online last week and the next day got a call that they were sold out.

I have a set of the 15" Star Specs as an autocross tire, and picked up a set of slightly used 14" Toyo RA-1s for track days. If you don't want to spring for the Star Specs due to price the Toyos might be a option depending on how much street driving you do to get to the track and if you can find decent take offs from a Spec e30 or Spec Miata driver.
