Sorry if this ground has already been covered but I want to get a couple of things straight:
On my mk1 I currently have Firestones all round in 185 60 R14, and I need to replace the rears. Badly. I’ve been trying to get some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D2’s or Hydragrips but am having major difficulty finding anywhere with stock, having had a good ring around and hunted the internet.
I understand that I could fit some Toyo T1-R’s, in 195 55 R14, and run them at a higher pressure to compensate. Now comes the question:
would I be OK to put the Toyo’s just on the back? or would the differing profile and width have a major adverse effect and mean I would really need to fit them all round? has anyone else tried this?
Failing that, any other recommendations in 185 60 14?
Any help and fast responses much appreciated!
