seems to be a lot of love for RE002's.

Any recommendations for a good tyre for an original NA6? Thanks

Are the RE001's the best for city driving on a NA6? 185/60R14

I hear/read a lot of good things said about the RE002's but not so much about their predecessors.

I dont think you have many options in that size unless you order from tirerack or similar

Sadly, the best locally available option in that size is a KU31. (Which isn't that great at all tbh.)

If grip is your main concern, upgrading wheel size to 15s and then buying tyres may be the best bet.
I guess this is my signature.

i'd like good grip and comfortable ride. Just for inner city driving but still want to grip the road when turning.

Ones that have been mentioned/suggested are:

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE001
Bridgestone Turanza T001
Dunlop SP Sport LM703
Toyo Teo Plus

Is there something better for the purpose in 185/60R14 or what's the best of the above? Thanks
