My r-comps are on 13's and 14's (as you can get Hoosier A6's and Kumho V710's in a large selection of sizes), I'm just talking about normal everyday tires that I can also use for HPDE's and PDX's.
I looked this up, and Tire Rack has eight zillion 14" tires available, including these Star Specs:

Here's the full inventory of 14" tires:

I didn't say you cant find tires, you can find tons of tires. I said:
14's are worthless for street tires, the selection available for that size is garbage
I'm talking quality, not quantity. Fugly beasts can find chicks, they're just going to be equally/more fugly.
Star Specs are so/so... Star Specs with a 60 sidewall are trash.
To be totally honest, the street tire market is so saturated with crappy tires. There are really only two street tires I'd bother with right now for summer use, the RS3 and the tire I used to win the NICOFest Autocross at Carlisle, the RE11.
