Richard,
  Another thought, since you're a student, obviously on a tight budget (been there, done that), try locally for a good, reputable used tire store. I have a couple here in Knoxville I use from time to time. $20 each mounted and balanced, and they will replace a bad one within a 30 day period. Have usually been able to find matching sets with only 10-15,000 miles on them, usually take-offs from boneyard cars.

> Yeah, I found them through googling. They have one Michelin that's $225/each and another that's $379/each. If they were z rated 17 or 18's ok, but for 14 inchers, at that price I guess I'll just get the Firestones. I wish Pirelli hadn't stopped making the SP4000 in that size.

>   Try Coker Tire, they're online and offer a wide line of sizes and styles for older cars. I've used them numerous times for old Redlines and Firestone Wide Ovals on GM musclecar restorations. I know they also carry older style Michelins and Pirellis.

> > Very easy question. That tire size jumps right out to anyone who had/has vintage Detroit iron, as it was standard on just about everything in the late 60's.early 70's. The answer is B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's. Still available everywhere. About $240.00 per set of 4.
