WELL does 205/60 front and 225/55 rear sound sweet


In 205/60R14 you'll have not-too-many options:


  • Nankang EX601
  • Yokohama S306
  • Sumitomo HTR200
  • Caliente


Nankang EX601 is about $110ea. and features an assymetric tread pattern. Their website in Taiwan refers to 'cost effective performance' and 'value' a lot. I don't really know much more than this, but Norbie's said they're not worth much more than their nominal purchase cost.

Yokohama S306 is Yokohama's 'durability/economy' offering, features a symmetrical tread pattern, and in my mind at least represents peace of mind coming branded by a marque I've heard good things about. It's around $120ea, and I think you'd be fooling yourself if you expected it to perform like an A509, A539 or A008.

Sumitomo HTR200 is a symmetrical tread pattern and about $140ea. The Sumitomo brand is a business unit of or has strategic ties with Dunlop rubber, and has a sizeable product portfolio, most of which is not available locally.

Caliente 205/60R14's are available through Bridgestone dealers and are manufactured to the same symmetrical mould/tread pattern as Bridgestone SF340 Eagers. While it employs the same tread pattern the tyre may no longer be identical to the Eager ~ perhaps the 205/60R14 has been dropped from the Eager line up and the design and moulds licenced to a more budget-oriented third party manufacturer. It's $80ea.


What have you found in 225/55R14? This size may be an alternative to 205/60R14 for my TA22, I'd be very keen to see what's available!
