P205/75 R14 or P215/70 R14

While the size selection is always better online (compared to a bricks and mortar store) you’ll be hard pressed to get the tire date code prior to the online tire purchase showing up at your door. Sure you might get the size you’re looking for delivered to your door but it could already be a 2 or 4 year old tire. Actual store, if they want your business, will be able to call their warehouse to verify the date code on the tires before you pull the trigger on them. And that’s not to say an actual store will sell you fresh tires as they might only have old stock too. When I bought my Coopers last year, one local store checked their warehouse and the freshest tire in the 14” I was looking for moulded 2.5yrs ago.

14” tires will almost certainly ‘age out’ before ‘wearing out’ so why start 2 to 4 years behind the 8 ball when those online tires show up at your door?
