IMHO Dunlops are junk, I am sure some will not agree.
The Yokohama's are an excellent choice and are available in the
205/60R14 size as well. Breidgestone RE71 is not quite the tire
the Yokohama is in my opinion. The BS is somewhat de-tuned
for OE use.
Yoko Specs: Size OW OD TW SLR RPM
205/55R14 8.2 23.8 6.69 11.0 873
205/60R14 8.2 22.8 7.1 10.4 912
These specs are for AVS Intermiediate and are not always applicable
to other models or brands.
