They are not the stickiest tires, but they wear quite well, and are
decent in the wet and light snow.

After running around ragged looking for the MXV4s in possible recent old
stock, and also for Dunlop, I went for the Yokohama Avid H4s.  Several
people here said they are good (and I also looked for comments via Google).
Hope I'll be happy.

My wife's Saab has MXV4s as original equipment and, frankly the performance
is only average and the price is pretty high.  Is there a reason not to
consider the Goodrich, Dunlop, Sumitomo or Yokohama tires which are
available in your 195/65 14 size?

Michelin does not have 195/65 R14 tires at H rating in the U.S. any longer.
They do have them in a line called Harmony but that is a S rated tire.  They
do not have 205/60 tires on a 14" rim, the closest is on a 15" rim.  But
they do have the H-rated MXV4 as a 195/70 R14 as Giovanni commented.

Any comments about a 195/70 R14?

Hi!
I used to have the same car (1987 model) and I saw a similar car with 195/70
and I read that 205/60 are ok as well.
By the way, www.Reifendirekt.ch  lists 12 summer tires in the size
195/65-14.

Hope this helps

My 1989 325i uses 195/65 HR14 tires.  After the original I've always used
Michelin tires.  I now find out Michelin no longer makes a 195/65.  What is
a recommended Michelin tire for my car?  195/60 OK?

Thanks.
