14 inch tire??

Just picked up a set of unknown japanese brand 14x7 rims for my car and upon looking for tires, i cant find anything smaller than a 60 series tire. Are any of you guys running 14 inch wheels? If you are what sizes and brands or links to some tires. Thanks again

I run the smallest that i was able to find size 185/60/14 Falkens. Its kind of hard to find a small size for 14" wheels. Name:  DSC01306.jpg

You could easily run a 245/60R14 on the rear, the Toyo Proxes R888 in a 225/50R14 isn't really a street tire, and would be summer-only. If you try those, buy a pair for the rear, try them on the front, then if they rub there are some 205/55R14 R888s. A 195/60R14 should be an easy fit up front. The other option would look way too small, but Yokohama offers their S.Drive in a 185/55R14. They're under $100 each, delivered, and they're 3-season performance street tires, but only 22" tall, these cars like 24" overall tire diameter.
I'd sell the 14s

Looks like you've got some nice appliance mesh wheels there.

I'm a fan of the s drive and they're a 55 sidewall ratio. Unfortunately there aren't many 14" options out there any more.
Yokohama S.drive
