14" wheels are one of the hardest to get decent tyres for

Listen to higsti and trikerneil. They are a sod to get decent tyres for.

ok i can go with that tip, i changed the wheels on my fiesta when 2 of them got a tad bent, changed from 15" to 16" same width and stuff
tires went from 195 50 15 at £27 to 195 45 16 at £70 ouch
so keeping weight down i guess 13's would be a good option, how low do you go prifile wise to keep some ride hight?

can you just jack up the ride hight or will that mess with the handling i'm sure some 60 or 70 profile tires will just roll about on the rims
