I have Kelly Navigators P185/65 R14 855. These are the! worst tires I have ever had. The Toyota dealer talked me into them. They have almost NO wet weather traction. It is
relatively frightening to go sliding even in just a light
rain. These are dangerous tires to have on the car. I would like to know if there is a tire size equivalent to these tires. I have had Dunlops in the past & they had great traction. This is a new 2nd hand car & the dealer said that
Dunlop does not make a tire this size. I bought these tires as a new set 41/2 months ago. They are worhtless. I need to
to get another set that has much better traction in wet weather.

You don't mention what Toyota but I would guess you can use a 195/60R14 and the Dunlop D60A2 is available. I would also recommend the Firestone SH30. You can see test results and customer feedback on these tires on our web site. If I can help let me know.
