I just received mine today and will have them on tomorrow. These tires will be greatly missed, so get them while you still can!!

I got mine from Vulcantire.com, but Edgeracing.com also has them for the same price ($47 a piece).

Probably the same reason that 13" tires are getting harder to find in performance brands.
Although, there are several racing series that use a 13" wheel and require a DOT tire, so the 13" may make a huge comeback. 14's on the other hand, have been largely ignored by many tire manufacturers for quite some time.
Seems the "mainstream" want 20's and up nowadays, and I was hoping that was just another passing fad........

Because they (Falken) has a new line up. More expensive, supposed to have better grip.

I remember when 205/50-15 Azenis were $45...

Check out Hankook tires, they have a tire that will and does compete with the old school Falken Azenis.

There are still quite a variety of good grippy tires to choose from in 14" sizes: Azenis RT615, Hankook RS-2 Z212, Yokohama ES100, Yokohama A032R, etc. Even more if you can get tires from Japan
