TireRack don't sell Falkens though so don't look there.

And they are a sweet tire! If you'd like a tire that last a bit longer, I can 
also suggest the Falken Zeix 512, also in 195/60/14 ($50.00 a piece locally). 
But how important is tire mileage on a weekend car?

As far as 14'' tire selection, someone used tire rack for an example. Well I 
did a search for 195/60/14 and 195 50/15 in only the following categories

Max Performance Summer
Ultra High Performance Summer
High Performance Summer
Competition
Ultra High Performance All-Season
High Performance All-Season

The result? there were 14 hits for the 195/50/15's and 17 hits for the 
195/60/14's  Contrary to popular belief, there's plenty of 14'' tires
