A 215/45x17 is a direct replacement of the 195/70x14s that you have now.

So, the 2002 came with 165-13 rims, which were okay until I could no
longer
get 165-13 tires. That's when I replaced them with some newer rims from
(I think) a 328, which take 195/70R14 tires which were fine for a long
time.
Now I'm finding it difficult to get anything in 195/70R14.... I really
liked
the Goodyear F-1s but they don't make them in that size any more. The
Aquatreads were okay, a little hard and a little skittery on grooved
pavement
but okay. But, they don't make them in that size any more. So I went
with
the Michelin Hydro-Edge, which wasn't bad. But, although they claim to
make
it in that size, they don't actually ship any and they have been
backordered
at the distributor since November 2009. So, I tried a Sumitomo tire,
which
was discontinued almost days after I put them on.
Is it time for me to change rims again. If so, any recommendations?
