I had some fitted today. £182 for four, fitted and balanced.

205/50 VR15

They might be rubbish or they might surprise me. Either way the NCTs were seriously old and well past their best

I've used these on my '87 Excel. They were fine; those on the rear wore rather quickly but, at the price, whose grumbling?

Got to to a few laps on a tack today rather unexpectedly. The Nankangs coped rather well

Interesting to see. I was looking online and I have never heard of any of the makes available! Falken , Nexen, Maxxis. Anyone tried them on 205/60 14's?

there is a lot more choice at 195/60 R14, with modern tyres you shouldn't miss the tread width...and it should stretch too much?

Toyo's and Continentals available in that size....toyos also available in 205/55 R14

Looking through past threads very few seem to be on 14" rims. :?
