Nokian Hakkapelliita's found, but are they too small?

Tha 195/60-14 may not have enough load carrying
capcity; even though they are close in diameter. 
Diameter and load capacity are both issues to watch.

Depending on the tread style; $300 may not be taht
great a deal.  I sell new sets of the 195/60-14 Hak 1
for $315

Good luck
