Fewer 14" tires to choose from?

So, I didn't want to start yet another tire thread...

But, I was looking up good choices for a LRR tire. I came up with an initial list of recommended tires to look at

Bridgestone B381
Bridgestone Potenza RE-92
Continental ProContact EcoPlus
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max
Kumho ecowing All Season KH30
Kumho eco Solus HM KR22
Michelin HydroEdge with Green X
Michelin Energy Saver A/S

and then popped on over to tirerack.com and discount tire to check for availability and got a little surprise...

The only tire listed on either site for 185/70R14 as an LRR tire was the Michelin Defender (which wasn't even on my list).

What the heck? I only get one choice?

I know there are a few more if I drop down to 185/65R14, but my low hanging, stock exhaust already scrapes too often as it is.
