Well the stock size phone dial tire is 185/70/14 for the FC. There aren't to many performance tires available in that size. Like Jerk Racer said, you can find more perf tires in 195/60/14 if that's what you're looking for. One thing to keep in mind is that Tire Rack and some other places won't sell you a tire that is lower overall diameter or rating than what is stock. In other words, if you tell them you have a 1988 RX-7 base for example, you can't get a 185/60/14 tire due to some lawsuit against Sears a couple years ago. I think the early Miatas come with 185/60's stock so I just say I have that when getting a 195/60 for example (which is still smaller than a 185/70). They actually called me after I placed an order over the net once and said they couldn't sell me the tires I wanted.. just FYI.

185/70? Wow. I forgot they were that size. Not much in that size for high performance tires. Probably nothing. But there's a reason for that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
I've ordered all sorts of tire sizes from The Tire Rack over the years. They have yet to give me any problem with my car. The first time I called they set up an account with my car and my name. I told them I needed 225/50 for my 16x8 wheels and they obliged. I don't ask for advice when I call. I call to place an order and that's that. But I do call and speak with a person when I order stuff from there just so there is no uncertainty of what I want. A 195/60R14 should have (all things considered equal I guess) 96% of the diameter of a 185/70R14 tire. That shouldn't make much of a difference at all with the speedometer readings. It will lower your effective gearing a smidgen if that means much to you. |
I ordered some 225/60/15 tires from tire rack a few months ago with no hassle. They called me afterwards to tell me that the tires were incorrect for my vehicle, but they still sold them to me.
