Go to COKER TIRES . they have Vredestein & Michelins in 175HR14 ... both good tires albeit a bit pricy
They may have more options in larger 14's that will fit also. Link below.

Hope this helps
Jack

JACK!! This is great info! I had no idea Vreds and Michelins were available in that size. Wonderful!

I became familiar with the Dutch-made Vreds as an affordable replacement tire for the Michelin XS and WXS on the Citroen DS cars. The Vreds are square-shoulders (as you can see) and the Miches are round-shouldered, with an extra tread line around the outside of the shoulder. During hard cornering the round-shouldered Mich will fold into the curve and give you one or two more lines of tread on the road. The square-shouldered Vred will just slide like any other tire. For common highway use, the Vreds are just as good as, but cheaper than, the Michelins. For hard driving you really want the Michelins, and they are really all that work right for the weird DS Citroen suspension geometry.

This is great news! Thanks! :thumbs_up:
