Each of my cars has 165/65-14 fronts & 185/60-14 rears & is rear-engined with swing axles. Wet braking, wet lateral grip (damp not deep puddles) & predictable & talkative limit behaviour are my priorities. The EC3s succeed well on those terms. I have no interest in how long they last or how comfortable they are & generally prefer softer, quick wearing, slick-road-competent, compounds. If they have a fault, then it's a fairly soggy structure. My cure for that is to run them with pressures in the mid thirties to gain the front end response I want & then adjust the rear to get the handling balance I like. Works nicely &, as their wet grip is better than anything much else I can get in the size in Australia, it's a small fault to compensate for. I'm a repeat customer although I've recently fitted Premium Contact 2s to the front of the 4CV (same comments as the above except crisper in turn in). Recommended.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
