14" tires

[Jaret Rapp]

Yeah, its sad because that was a hugely popular tire size in the 80's and 90's.   
 
The last time I replaced my tires on my 91 SE-R I went up to 195/60-14 and went with the Falken Azenis RT615K.   It throws the gearing off a little, but the larger tire looks better, and those were very sticky when they were soft.  I wasn't worried about tire wear since I am barely putting 500 miles a year on my car.

As those of you remaining with stock-wheeled B13s know, there ain't much for 185/60-14 tires these days, and what is available seems underwhelming. 


Anything that you're particularly happy with? 


I need a new set of non-snow tires for my car, and lament that I cannot use my Bridgestone RE970s - they are old but not dry-rotted, but there is a puncture in one that tire stores will not repair due to being on the outer tread. 


I have thought about going to B14 wheels and 195/50-15 tires, where there is a better selection. But I wouldn't mind keeping the OE wheels.
