205/60 R14 Tyres.

[Tasmin200]

I'm thinking about putting the original 14" wheels back on my car but there doesn't appear to be a huge amount of choice of tyres to fit them. Does anyone have any recommendations? Both of tyre type and where I can get them.

I'm not keen on some unheard of 'ditchfinder', which leaves Federal, Toyo, Maxxis. Are these any good?

Hi Roy

You might struggle to get the right size...especially 205/50/14..I used to have to go for 195...here are some, Rainsport etc are good....

Hmm it's a long time since I bought tyres for the S1 Tasmin I used to own, think it was Bridgestone RE71's back in the day. From that site link provided by ziga I would be inclined to go for the 205/60 Toyo's. These are H speed rated and if memory serves me correctly I think the 280i is good for 133mph so not sure if they should be V rated.

Sorry for being no help at all.

Edited - should have looked at your username, the H rated will be spot on.

I think the 200 might have had 195's on them originally. That certainly opens up a big more choice. The Rainsports are good tyres I've had them on other cars.

The 195s might look a tad weedy though??

The 195's looked okay on Delilah...

205/60 R14 is available of the shelf...the only part missing is the correct speed rating...which was V...available tyres at the moment are all H, but for Uk it shouldnt be a problem? outside UK, Mr. Mot Tester would not let you pass.

Hi Roy

Mind you this was a better ride...
