Any advice on sporty tyres for stock 14 inch 3000m wheels? They seem hard to find as it is al 15 inch

Vic,

Fulda Carat Assuro 195/60 or 65(?)are getting good press, or Vredesteins 185/70 (I believe)less good/mixed press, or Michelin 185/80

I all cases check for correct speed and load index (for MOT ...)

Camskill are showing 14" stock.

Personally I'd go for 205 x 60 x 14.

I believe there is a very nice (but not cheap) front hub "upgrade" to use pre-set type bearings, similar I would imagine to the Sierra type used on the later S Series, Chimeara etc?

I was thinking more of the rear Wheel bearing that seem to be not so strong
