On the market for 205/60r14

Anyone know where has Dunlop DZ102 or Maxxis MA-Z1 (not Z4S) up north?

MA-Z1 was the best street tyre I had except for threadwear but started to become scarce and overpriced, so considering the Dunlops now.

Doubt you'd get the Direzza in that size. Not sure about the MA-Z1

Kelly in San Juan had the DZ102 in 14" a while back but not right now or anytime soon. So just looking around for either of these 2 in 14"... or any equivalent tyre...

Replacing some Toyo Proxes Vimode right now.

Vimode no longer available? That was a very good tyre.

Direzza and MA Z1 start at 15 I believe.

Correct, Vimode no longer available in that size at MM, only a chinese brand called Ardent.
This pic is from when I first got them next to the MA-Z1

Looking like I have to go with either SP601 or HTR200 now.

the chinese tire called Cratos seems to be holding up pretty decent for a 300.00$ tire (195 55 15)

Because they're part of the Khumo/ Nexen/Hankook group that supplies the Kia-Hyundai group. My Hyundai came with the Nexen CP-521 tyres and I wasn't excited but they've been proving me wrong, good wet and dry grip and no road noise having just passed 20000kms. I'd probably stick with them come replacement time if they're available locally

I can't find any information on the tyre trio out of Korea being a group... The only thing linking them right now is where they are based

Hankook is a separate entity from Nexen/Roadstone
