Well I really liked the quality and price of my continentals
They are a German owned company but build all the tires right here in
America
And really sell a great tire for the price
Check out
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/conti/co_chv90.jsp
they are only $40 in your 195/60/14 size
also Kumho does make the wonderful ESCTA 712 in 185/55/14 which is bigger
then the numbers suggest
on a 6" rim it is 7.60" wide and 22" tall
and they make the awesome 711 in a
185/65/14
195/65/14
195/60/14
185/55/14
now for some strange reason Tire rack decided NOT to carry the 14" tires or
the 711but if you check kumho's website
Or call 1800-hi-kumho you can find a dealer near you or mail order that
can help..
I know this only because a friend of mine who is a kumho nut wanted a set of
712 for his miata; I called kumho and to my surprise was told
These sizes do exist!!!
These should be all price conscious decisions.

Howdy all.
Well, it looks like I'll wear out a perfectly good set of Dunlop D60s in
just about 18 months and I never even autocrossed on them. Hmm, wacky
alignments seettings and having fun on twisty streets. Go figure. ;^) Of
course this means that I'll need some new tires to make it through this
winter.
I need some recommendations for a good all season (yes, snow too)
performance tire that's not too expensive. Any ideas folks? I've always
been pleased with the Dunlop D60s but am ready to try something else. I'm
looking for something in a 195/60-14 or 205/60-14 size.
And yes, I will most likely purchase them from the Tirerack.
Thanks in advance folks.
