14 inch tires for appliance wheels

Post by Dave_Pa »

what's a good spring, summer, fall (if it's nice) tire to put on an appliance wheel) which i think is a 14?

I really like my Dunlop Direzza star spec on my one car, but i think they might be a little too much for a roadster.

any help/suggestions are appreciated.

sweet! those tires are just unreal. it should be illegal that a tire can grip that well.

thanks Phil!

Yes, while I am ok with my Bridgestone Potenzas, I have the Dunlop Direzza (not the super grip version, but still grippy) on my 2000 Celica, and wish I had gone this route on the Roadster.

Sumitomos if you want to save money but still get great performance.

By the way guys, it's difficult for anyone (including places like Tire Rack) to beat my shop's prices on tires.

My 69 had Falken performance tires, the 66 has more of an all season sport sedan tire. granted, 2 different cars, but a big difference, I'm getting sportier tires or swapping the Falkens on ASAP

I wish there was a good one for my Appliance wheels in the size I want which is 1757014. Sumitomo had one but stopped making it.
