Im planning to downgrade my 15" rim to 14". Running on 195/50R15 is too much on FC. Pick up also slower due to more friction.
I was recommended by a tyre dealer to get Yokohama ES300 165/60/R14. Anyone got any experience with this tyre? I cant find much info on this model.
Any other good tyre brand and model for 165/60/R14 apart from this Yokohama ES300?

Hi Bro, Yokohama ES300 is a very silent tires due to the soft rubber down point is that it wears faster and 165/60/R14 not very stable when you perform fast cornering, may you want to look into another Yokohama 175/60/R14 tires

Agree with tires this Size pickup is slower, but better handling, Goodyear NCT5 also not bad

Goodyear NCT 5 got 2 size. 165/60 R14 (I am using this) & 185/60 R14 Dunlop and Hankook also not bad. They are one of the top ten.
