Don't be afraid of the sharper handling characteristics of a low profile on a 14" LOL
If you really want to keep the feel of a standard G, then surely you shouldn't be using Yoko's or Brigstone Potenzas, I think a good old Pirelli P6000 should give that stanard feel!!
Seriously though, I don't know??

Does anybody heard something, that yokohama will stop producing 175/60/13 tyres?
-
hankook on the new VAG stuff do that size. I made my workplace stock them >_< ha ha

Hankook??? It couldn't be any worst tyre...???

Toyo Proxes CF1's, very pleased with mine.

You've obviously never driven a car with "Goodride" tyres on it then. LOL
Although they do make a lot of comical squealing noises when going round roundabouts at anything more than a snail's pace. Makes you feel like you're in a '70s American cop film though.
