a thinner 14" tire would be good but any thinner than a 155 i dont know about that my lincoln was unstable enough on 155's. do these tires have white walls

 

[red chev]

Hankook makes the H714 here. Tread even looks the same. I got 4 for $145 last week from discount.

" Star King is a perfect product from the kitchen of Hankook. Made in one of the most modern plants with Hankook and a nice range of sizes."

Jon,



Thanks for the question.



Sorry, the 175 width is the narrowest available in a 14” wheel. I don’t expect Hankook to manufacture anything smaller in the near future. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.



Sincerely,



Nicholas Tufo
