Its hard to get decent 14" tires, especially V rated, especially in the
wider 205/70 size.
I bought a set of Vredestein Sprint Classics for my 450SLC 5.0 a while
back, but they were over $200 each. But I wanted something special for
that car and they were much cheaper than the Michelin XWXs the car
originally came with. They looked awesome and handled great... I plan on
putting a set on my W109.
I have a set on Vredestein Hi Trac 2s on my 300D in 195/70R14....
they're genuine summer tires which is especially hard to find in 14". I'm
very happy with them and would get another set. Not sure if you can get
them in 205/70R14, however.
As you may have guessed, I have Vredestein dealer just down the road.

yeah, and I remember the days they could beat anyone's prices
I bought lots of "made in Germany" Continentals, Metzler, Vred and
Kleber tires form them that I can remember. That was really nice.
Then something happened, and they suddenly were higher than anyone
else.
Not so nice now. $200 a tire? I won't pay $800 plus freight and
installation for tires on a $500 car.
I guess I could find some 126 15 hole wheels, but they won't look
right on a 123. And, it is getting hard to find 15" tires now. I am
wondering when the rubber band tar fad will go away.
