Aggressive 14" tires?

[Sweet82]

I've been looking at aggressive 14" tires with a height of around 25-26".

The idea is to find a tire that I can run on an unlifted Subie or the Buggy.

There is not a lot out there in a 14" size in that range.

The problem is no one is manufacturing the small trucks that require them anymore.

 

What I'm finding is the only real sizes available are,

 

205/75/14 , good aggressive tires in this size but they are relatively TALL for our gears!

These will be in the 26" to 27" range.

 

205/70/14, snow tires are about the only thing available in this size as this is a car tire size.

These will measure out in the 25.5 range. The tread depth is not real deep on this size of tire.

 

195/75/14 , small truck size and a little more selection in aggressive tires.

These will also measure out in the 25.5 range and the tread depth is greater. The width is narrower than a 205/70.

 

The only thing I found that I like is the WildCat A/S at Les Schwab for $61 in a 195/75/14.

Anyone else looked into this?

Kumho Venture M/T, 27/8.50/14 or a 26.5, whatever. Just what you're looking for. 4 mounted and balanced and taxed and delivered for $401.00 from Discount Tire.

 

They work fine on unlifted rigs.

I shoulda checked with discount tire... i got mine from Tire Rack. Paid $340 for the set of 4, and $60 for shipping... i assume another $40 for mount and ballance.

 

Althought, my rig is lifted so I dunno how well they'll work on stock subes.

ditto those are a very good tire. From what it looks like on coopers site, they are starting up there M/T again in 205/75/14

I love my kumho M/T's... Very hard compound makes for slow wearing. And they grip pretty good. Although unless your in low range they aare pretty annoying on the street...
