Hey

we are getting ready to buy some new rubber for Nigel
anybody have recommendations as to a good brand and size



thanks
 
What width are you looking for? 185/70R14 is the best all around size if you have clearance. 175/70 is also very good and retains the classic look. 195 is superb for handling but not everyone can fit them in the rear arches.
 
my clearance is ok and we are rebuilding the suspension over the winter including new springs all around so i think 185 might be a great compromise
for ride and handling
 
You will have plenty of options in 185/70R14. This list is about a year old, but it should get you started.
