According to people on our forum, that drive the Murena for about 30 years now the Michelin Pilot Premacy is the way to go. I heard that before, but it is a expencive tyre. I had some Chinese stuff from Nankang mounted, but this made my car very difficult to handle. They were way to soft. My new choice is Bridgestone Turanza ER300 195/60 R14 on the back, wich has the best results in different tests and also good in wet conditions. Hope to get the tyres this week. On the front I have Michelin E3A energy 185/60 R14 wich I like but are less good in the wet, thats why I want the bridgestone now.

Some extra information. Going wider then original 195 on the back and staying 185 at the front gave me problems to keep the car on track. -----
I was thinking of going wider both on front and back and to help find alternative sizes I use this danish link: http://www.eurowheels.dk/Beregninger.asp?kode=TEST5Even though it is danish I think all shold be able to figure out to use it. (otherwise translate with Google language tools) ![Grin](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif) The problem, though is, that on 14" rims, you will have a hard time finding anything over 195/60. The link will tell you the change in actual Km/t if you change sizes. The object, of course is to get as close as possible to the originals. Personally I would not go for more than about +/- 0.5%.. So if I could find 205/55R14 and 215/55R14 I would be +0.6% and +0.4% off from the originals. Chances of finding those sizes are slim to none, though. ![Sad](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif) But back to the problem of finding good tires. I just fount that the Danish motor organisation, FDM, has pretty good words on the Uniroyal RainExpert, which they give 4of6 stars on dry and 5of6 stars on wet road. They say it handles quite well. Comfort is not high, but since what I want most of all is GRIP, I don't really care about that. Lo and behold, the RainExpert seems to be made in the 185/60R14 and 195/60R14 sizes. Now to find them.

Can't find them in this size in V speed. There are a lot of limitations to find the right tyres for the Murena ![Embarrassed](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) If they are a bit soft it's no problem. I don't race the car, but like the country roads to speed a little. My 12 year old Vikings felt like wood on the car, so a bit soft is no problem, but the Nankangs felt like balloons under the car. Choices, choices........... ![Huh](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

After driving first cca 200km carefully, I recomend to warm them up very well, somewhere where You can make some fast corners for cca 10 minutes. Don't know why, but after this warming, tires are working better their whole life.
