Knowing what size tire, what kind of road conditions it'll actually see (track only, or a mixture), and what kind of car they're going on... are critical in giving an intelligent answer.

185/70/14's are your factory size. This doesn't leave much in the way of a "performance tire" option. If you were to bump up to 15" wheels and tires, you'd be far better off in that department.

He's not kidding! There's nothing with any real performance in the 185/70-14 or our alternate recommended size of 195/65-14.

There are some performance all-season tires in 195/60-15 and 205/60-15, and some performance summer tires in 205/55-15 though.

You would need a new set of 15" wheels for those though, here's a list of wheels we have for your car.

I had Toyo T1 Sports on my 07 fa5 si and the grip was great for daily driving on dry, wet or dusty roads. I was running a 225/40R17 with Enkei Rpf 1's at 17x9. I've been looking for a set of sticky summer tires for my 99 GSR with Enkei 92's sized at 15x7 also. I just might go back to the Toyo's tbh. Price was very reasonable, well below most everything else I found in the same category. If I remember correctly they were $135 each, 15" will run about $20-$30 less per tire. Stepping up to a 15" may be the best option for you, as mentioned by toyomatt84 14" are few and far between for perfomance tires. Good luck with the search.
