Slim Pickings ...205/60 14 in Tires for the GSL-SE...

Obviously need to replace the 22 year old tires on my newly bought used 1984 GSL-SE ... Been scoping the tire websites and came up with these 9 candidates ...

Otani KC2000
Federal SS- 657
Nankang SP-9 Cross Sport
Accelera PHI R
Grenlander Colo H01 (summer tire)
Grenlander L-Grip 16 (summer tire)
Nankang XR 611 Toursport
Farroad FRD 16
Antares Ingens A1

​​​​​
Found some more to choose from :

What are your thoughts and is anybody running these tires on there SE or other brands i did not list ? I know most of you will say to go to a 195 tire for more options but i prefer to keep it OEM ....Any input is much appreciated ..Thanks

I don't have experience with any of those models but the Antares Ingens A1 is the nicest looking.

Search for 195/60 and 185/65. 205/60 is all but obsolete and way too wide on a 5.5" wheel anyways

I have narrowed the Choices down to 3... ...but reading lots of reviews and the Forceum tire seems to be better ...Any thoughts ?


Forceum Hena :




Antares Ingens A1:








This is a wild card ...Otani KC 2000 :
