Compliment of sorts..

[jfolkson@optonline.net (Jan Folkson)]

Dunlop offers a 195/55 14 in the SP8000, Yokohama has 205/55 14 in the AVS
Intermediate.  Pirelli and Michelin used to offer 205/55 14s, but I'm not
sure if they're still available either.

I've got the Dunlops on my teardrops and I'm really happy with them.  YMMV.
