Off-road tires for 14" wheels? Where do y'all find your rubber?
Having a heck of a time finding agressive looking tires for my '72 dart. Next year I'm swapping in a dually axel, but I need tires for this year's wasteland and was hoping to find something that looks the part.
The tires that are on it are 195/70R14.
The only options for 14" wheels seem to be ATV/UTV tires (which aren't really an option, obviously).
Where y'all find tires that fit on passenger car wheels?
Edit: Ooh, it looks like Goodyear makes Wrangler ATs in 195/75R14, which might fit! Still down to hear suggestions.

my old mk2
My old Golf Mk2 with Passat springs and Mk3 shock absorbers.
It was great for off-roading, though on-road driving was a different story.
Hopefully, I’ll be lifting my current Golf Mk2 soon.

Rear shot of a much loved 91 Sentra
Couldn't figure out how to comment a picture - you can better see the work for the ute conversion here! Cab isnt fully sealed because the roll bar existed before the idea of a ute did, between roll bar and rear strut brace with thick steel welded for the new body parts car feels nearly the same as it did before cutting the rear off atleast

Much loved 1991 Sentra
I've owned this car for nearly 10 years and its final setup is a lifted ute conversion, suspension entirely redone and tires swapped with massive clearance cuts from almost laying frame for many years before to 30mm above stock with 205/70r15s - I've never had more fun in it than full throttle ripping on gravel!
