A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
Its been 20 years or so since ive bought tires for an RBV with a 14" rim, and i can see that time has not been nice for selection...

I dont really wanna buy 15in rims.

My question is, do any of the well known companies (prefer BFgoodrich but im ok with goodyear) make a 205/75/R14 anymore?

I seen BF makes the radial T/As but they are a performance tire and i question their ability in the snow.

I dont want hankooks or yokos either.

Am i gonna be stuck with an offbrand?

EDIT-
I forgot about coker tire, i found these, how do you think they would wear on the rear end? Also how does a "E78" compare to the factory 205/70s?

225/70/14 is still a fairly common size and easy to get.

E78 would be 185/78R14, so 205/70R14 is 1" wider, but same diameter.
