If you want Dunlop SP4's I'm not sure you can get them, but you can probably
get the proper size SP6's from Universal Tire Co, but they are $127 a piece.
The Avons are $72. Their number is 800 233-3827. You should be able to
get either from Lucas Tire too (800 952-4333 or 310 595-6721). I have the
Michelins, and I think they are great in the dry. They are the worst thing
made in the wet, but now that I live where I do (desert Idaho, less than 8"
of rain a year) I will be quite content with the XZX's. Oh, the tire rack
(800 428-8355), they show Dunlop SP4's in a 175 SR 14 for $39. Pirelli
P2000's (tire rack also) come in a 165/65TR-14 at $54 from the tire rack,
but I am not sure how that 65 aspect ratio correlates to the sidewall height
on the B tire.
Good Luck
