What drivers say about their 205/60 R14 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I never thought these economical tyres could be such good in driving. My cay hugs the road in high speed and very quietly provide full information from road feedback. Cornering is a charm and traction is really manageable if one wants to spin in corners. Looks superb on car and very neat and clean design.
Tight budgeted should definitely give it a try..
