Additional Thoughts:

Apologies if there is already a topic open for people to post this...

Pretty much nothing good mate. From anywhere. Find some 15s, that's what I'm trying to do, for the same reason.

Lokiel would suggest 17" wheels.

Kumho KU31 if you can still find them.
Dunlop ZII StarSpec from TireRack.
Yokohama S-drive.
Sumitomo HTR P01 A/S - I've had them on another car and they weren't bad at all.

Lol inside joke?

So toying with the option of buying tyres from USA

It seems http://usatoaus.com/ forward ship 4 tyres for $100.

That gives us access to all that's available from http://www.tirerack.com/

You'll appreciate the increase in performance tyre choices with 15".

Nexen CP641 195/60R14 cheap and cheerful and grip just as bad as everything else.

Pretty well. Lokiel publicly praises his 17's almost as often as we get a 'which roll bar' thread. Is somewhat know for it.

Last time I got tyres for my 14's my local tyre shop was able to track down a set or Bridgestone RE001, but I'd probably end up with the Dunlop Star specs if I had to buy tyres now.

There are plenty of 185 60 14 on E-bay both name brands and cheapo's

Ebay was the first place I checked, as well as gumtree.

Cheapest I found were 4x 185 60 14 aoteli p307 for $120!! bargain price for brand new pink slip tyres!! But yeah I would never consider putting these on my car and actually go anywhere as they have really really really bad reviews online.

In light of Chinese tyres, I had thought about settling with goodride sp06 tyres from my local tyre shop if I got desperate, as they seem to have good review for a daily dríven tyre. Wet and dry (translation: had the "least" amount of bad reviews for a Chinese tyre lol)

$59 per corner for the goodride sp06 and goodride are supposed to be number 1 tyre manufacturer in china and 11th in the world.

When i looked yesterday there were Pirelli kumho Dunlop etc.
It all depends on what you require for your needs
