205/70 R14 Tyres

I don't know where Wanli tires should be classified, because they are budget friendly tires, but they also perform really well. This tread design has very good grip on both dry and wet roads and makes a great comfortable ride. I can have both affordability and quality in Wanli tires. I will definitely buy again.

I needed a set of tyres to replace the elderly Michelin XWXs on my car. At the time of buying the Sprint Classics there really was only those and the Michelins available in the 205/70/VR14 size. I opted not to go for another set of XWXs as they are fairly prohibitively expensive. So far the Vredesteins feel very grippy and smooth. I do not drive like a maniac so I haven't thoroughly put them through their paces but so far I am more than happy with their performance. I think they look great and really suit the 70s styling of the car. Having said that, I doubt I'd buy another set as the previously mentioned 'dents' in the sidewalls are pretty unsightly particularly when considering the tyres aren't exactly cheap and being meticulous about period detail, it's an annoying niggle. Having said that, again – there are no other VR tyre available at a non-insane price.

A great tyre for classic cars. My car takes an unusual size and my only other choices were a Michelin classic tyre at almost £400, or budget tyres for about £60. The Vredesteins in this size were about £150 (other, more common, sizes in this tyre are cheaper) and are perfect in appearance and performance. The high profile means the feedback is somewhat vague, but that's more a factor of the size/profile than the tyre quality - you can't expect more from a 1976 comfort-barge!
I can't comment too much on the progressiveness, because I don't corner the old girl that hard, but grip is excellent in all conditions, even pushed a bit.
Best of both worlds - grips like a modern tyre, looks like a classic tyre.
