195/45/14 Toyo's

Response to One more deterrent... 14 inch tires have a rather limited availability also.

They have been on the X for a while now and I like them with the Maserati Bi-turbo 6x14 wheels. Grip is good and steering feel is light and precise. Stick is up from the Sumitono's.

I'm concerned that only Toyo offers this tire size. If they discontinued this tire, I'm not going to be a happy camper.

Much of the tire problem is driven by the majority of bigger cars and vehicles sold today. Few cars sold today is under 2,000 pounds with 13" wheels like the X today. This means nearly no new performance cars with small wheels and tires, so the market for them is tiny.
