Coker has the Michelin XWX 205/70VR14 with an overall diameter of 25.10" for $440. The consensus on the forum is that these are THE tires if you want the best original replacement!

Of course, if you are not racing your car on the autobahn, you can get some H rated tires (max speed 130 mph or 209 km/h) for about $50-100.
