14" tyre recommendations needed

My camber is scrubbing out my rear inside tread on rear tyres on my good rims so I bought some original 14" na rims. I want to put some "daily driver" reversable tyres on these 14" rims so I can extend the tyre life a bit.( I know, I could reduce the camber, but I dont want to).

Does any one know of any mx5 friendly 14" tyres that can be reversed on the rims for daily driver / commuting type use?

By "reversible" you mean non-directional right?

Well... I was going to suggest Bridgestone Grid III as they are very durable and have excellent grip, but they are directional tyres.

Although I travel around 6,000km per year on the roads, I've done five track days with the 185/60 R14 Grid III and there still well over 60% tread left.

Have a go at the Falken ZE912.

yeh, thanks 1red5, "nondirectional" was what I should have said. I would like to get some semi decent tyres so I can swap the inside edge onto the outside of the wheel to even up the wear a bit & extend tyre life .

Well I'm currently using the older Falken ZE326 in 185/60 R14 size on my Festiva and I like how it handles and grips, and the Festiva is not a great handling car, so I can only assume the latest Falkens ZE912 are as good or better as it's a more sportier tyre design.

I've always been a fan of Falken as, in my opinion, they make one of the best value tyres out there, plus they also make them in rare sizes such as 195/45 R15.
