wtb some 14in rubber Rmd Bc

time for the red missile to get back o the road, but first it needs new treads

the azini's I got from Norm years ago are fully baked, checked, 0/32s and probably got flat spots by now.

she likes her turbines so im looking for some 195 60 r14s or 185 60/65 R14s for summer and rain

Wow those lasted pretty good. That was 5 or 6 years ago. Those wheels do look good.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

but they only look good on her car. I tried them on a few other cars and they didnt look right. back when they were on your car I didn't like them. I dont know if its the red with black accents that make the turbines look fantastic on her car or if it has to do with the stance.

she did 80km of hwy daily for the better part of 3 years. one winter I insisted on swapping some snows on, she insists the azinis were better. I however will be happy to see the twitchy azinis go but they sure lasted a long time for a 200 tread wear

wanted to buy some federal 595s but it looks like they stopped making them last year.

they may have lasted but i didnt like the azenis . I found them twitchy, grabbed ruts, and if you hit a painted line you could feel the wavy center line. also with the interrupted groves they dont shed water and hydro plane.

we saw an average of 34mpg with the azenis I wonder what a set of eco rubbers would be like? it is a commuter dime.... be nice to increase fuel economy. however most of the reviews give poor marks for all eco tires in the rain..... then there's also the point of safety as the 510 has no safety features other than great view and the ability to get out of the way.

I have never had a set of new "all seasons" on a dime. usually im running decades old, hard as truck M/S or sticky 200 tread wear slicks.

is there a middle of the road ? can anyone recommend a 3 season tire ? or have a set of all seasons on the cheep ?

Hey Robyn, Last year I ordered a set of Nankang 15-195-55 tires from OD PARTS from back east for $270.00 delivered to my door. Not sure if they have 14 inch but I am very happy with these.

Nankang have some nice all seasons. If you are going to order some you should talk to Mike. He is a dealer for them.
