Where to find 205/60R 14 tires?

It's time to replace my wwwwell aged tires and I am having trouble finding the same size rubber again. Currently running with 205/60r14 on an '85 GSL-SE and I wish to keep the OEM stock rims. Does anyone have suggestions on a tire company that still produces a quality tire (no Chinese rubber) in 14 inch? Would the 215/60r14 or 195/60r14 be an option as Tire Rack carries these sizes? Would these sizes drastically throw off the speedo? Much obliged.

you weren’t kidding about finding tires in that size. Extremely difficult if you attempt by regular measures.
however, if you get really specific, you can find a size by my good old reliable company.

I use 195 65 14. I find it looks better. The tires don't hang over rim as much and based on the error built into the speedometer, this size makes indication closer to actual speed.

I was in the same boat with my GSL SE but finally found Federal 595 tires in 205/60 14 from 1010 Tires in the spring of 2021. You just have to be patient.
