205/70 14 Tire Review Highlights

Wanli S1015 rated 99% while driving a BMW E38 7 Series
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
I don't know where Wanli tires should be classified, because they are budget friendly tires, but they also perform really well. This tread design has very good grip on both dry and wet roads and makes a great comfortable ride. I can have both affordability and quality in Wanli tires. I will definitely buy again.

Vredestein Sprint Classic rated 76% while driving a BMW 3.0 Csi

I needed a set of tires to replace the elderly Michelin XWXs on my car. At the time of buying the Sprint Classics there really was only those and the Michelins available in the 205/70/VR14 size. I opted not to go for another set of XWXs as they are fairly prohibitively expensive. So far the Vredesteins feel very grippy and smooth. I do not drive like a maniac so I haven't thoroughly put them through their paces but so far I am more than happy with their performance. I think they look great and really suit the 70s styling of the car. Having said that, I doubt I'd buy another set as the previously mentioned 'dents' in the sidewalls are pretty unsightly particularly when considering the tires aren't exactly cheap and being meticulous about period detail, it's an annoying niggle. Having said that, again – there are no other VR tire available at a non-insane price.

Vredestein Sprint Classic rated 94% while driving a Mercedes Benz ’76 350SE (W116)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3 average miles
A great tire for classic cars. My car takes an unusual size and my only other choices were a Michelin classic tire at almost £400, or budget tires for about £60. The Vredesteins in this size were about £150 (other, more common, sizes in this tire are cheaper) and are perfect in appearance and performance. The high profile means the feedback is somewhat vague, but that’s more a factor of the size/profile than the tire quality - you can’t expect more from a 1976 comfort-barge!
I can’t comment too much on the progressiveness, because I don’t corner the old girl that hard, but grip is excellent in all conditions, even pushed a bit.
Best of both worlds - grips like a modern tire, looks like a classic tire.
