Your weather is a lot like San Diego. Many of use use Hankook RA008 in a 185R/14 or 195R/14.
To me this is a no-brainer if you live and drive where there is seldom snow. I'm on my second set of 'kooks and find them a good ride.
They even performed well when we encountered snow & ice (wife driving, 10000', trucks in the ditch). |

Very few 'acceptable' 205R14C or D options out there. Here's one:

Don't know if the Kumho 857 in this size is available in the US.
As r39o sez - a lot of us still running 14" wheels are on Hankook RA08's. 10mm width difference between 195 and 205 is not noticeable IMHO.
You WILL notice a vast improvement in the way your Carat handles, drives, tracks and stops with properly rated rubber.
Function and safety win out over fashion IMHO. |
