Unfortunately, I think the tire manufacturers are trying to "phase out" 13 and small 14" sizes for mainstream auto use... It seems like the norm are mid-size 14 and small-medium 15" tires, and increasingly, 16-17" or larger.

In fact, most new cars don't even seem to have an option for 14" rims anymore.
