Performance wheels for 14" ? Help? Please?

Postby onmyzephyr » Mon May 23, 2016 5:22 pm

Do they Exist?

I wanted re003's but 15" is the smallest size.

Any suggestions? I like my wheels , I just hate my current tires.

Regards,

I presume you mean performance tyres?

My understanding is that these days it's getting harder and harder to get good 14s, it seems to be all either economy, or semi slick.

Hankook seems to stock a veyr broad range of sizes, they may have something suited to you.
the RS3 is a very good tyre, but isnt the longest lasting, or best in the wet.

Last time I looked, not that long ago, there were also some Yokohamas available.

Dunlop direzza z2 star specs are going to be your fastest street tyre. Anything more aggressive would be race only

Has anyone had experience they can share on Falken Azenis rt615k on 14s? Good? bad? meh?

I'm in the same boat in that there's not many tyre options around any more for 14s (WHY NO MORE R14 POTENZAS, BRIDGESTONE?! *shakes fist*)
