Do they still do a car tyre for saloons in 185/70 14 ?
Yes!

They do a 185/70/T14 for £60 ish

Afraid I'd have to disagree - I have Bridgestone Potenzas RE720's on my 360 and they have stupid grip in the dry and excellent grip in the wet. These replaced some Michelin energy's (I think - can't remember but they didn't impress me.).

Don't confuse Eco-Contacts with Premium Contacts. These fuel saving tyres disturb me, sacrificing rolling resistance for fuel economy isn't the best idea in my eyes - why bother when an old Volvo isn't going to produce good fuel economy anyway LOL.
