Right so then champs,

I've imported a set of 14" watanabe's that have just arrived from the land of the rising sun, woopie.

Now the dreaded task of finding a set of 185/60/r14 tires for them, the cars a daily so it will be used during these summer months but also when there is the odd spell of rain.

Currently running a set of Uniroyal rainexpert 3s and honestly I like them driven both in the wet and the dry, they do have a bit more road noise that I like.

I've been looking into the following:
Yokohama Advan HF Type D A008S
Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2
Uniroyal rainexpert 5s
Nankang NS2Rs

Vredestein Sportrac 5 are very good, and less than £40 a corner from Camskills. I replaced a set of Uniroyals with them when I had 14s, just as good in the wet, and much better feel and grip in the dry. Good wear rate too.
