In 14in guise though.

Got mine running on pirelli p's 6000, picked em up at black circle at £40  quid a piece, too cheap not too, done about 100 miles and seem spot on for grip both wet and dry.

195 45 14 on a Mk2... size seems really odd... Bet your speedo is out...

RE Tyres... seems to me that as long as you don't go for Cheap Crap Budgets any of the above at about £40.00 a tyre seem to be highly rated...

Glad you enjoyed the link :grin:

I've been looking at Nexen N2000's, getting good reviews and cheap enough to take a punt on.

Could get them fitted for 120.00 for 4! :grin:
