Hey everyone im looking for some new tyres. My rims are 14 x 8 magnums. I've been looking around everywhere and the only tyres ive found are 245 50 R14 Eagers. These are currently on the back of the car. But I dont want anything that wide on the front. The fronts at the moment are 215 60 R14. I want to get something roughly the same width but no wider than 225 but in the 50 series. Can anyone tell me where i can find some?
Cheers

I'd stay with the 215 x 14 for the front. I don't believe you can a 50 series tyres in the width you are looking for. Good luck with the search.

I was recently chasing 14 inch tyres also. There is very limited stock in 14s now, with many of the sizes unavailable anymore.
I couldnt ended up only being able to get a 215 60 for the rear but i was tryin to get a 225 or 235 50 and couldnt get 50 series anywhere.
I was told by tyre shops the only way to get tyres that size is to get them imported myself.
You may be lucky and find someone with a some still in stock...if you do let me know if theres any extras....

I've been looking around and the only size I have found are 205 50 R14. Might have to go with them even though they arent terribly wide..

225/60/14 and 235/60/14 are much easier to find. I guess your heart is set on a 50 profile in 14". Its really time to think new wheel sizes if you want wider and lower profile tyres.
Thems the facts.

l thought that Yokohama had started again making a range of R352 50 series 14" tyres. l was enquiring about these a few weeks back in 225 and 245/50's and l was given the impression that both were available.

you've got 14x8 so you could put your 245s on the front and put some 265s on the ass.

I want the 50 size walls so the tyre doesnt hit the flare on full lock.
