Assuming you still have the original alloy wheels, then as stated 205/70R14 is the correct size.
Semperit are the only quality European brand still making them, the rest are far eastern brands with varying degrees of quality.
If you go for the Semperit you need the 205/70R14 98T XL, load rating for the correct axle load. Unlikely any tyre dealer will have them in stock in your area they are not a common size now days, but they should be able to order the ones you want.

I just bought 4 no of the stated Semperits from MyTyres.co.uk. They had to bring them in from Austria, which might be the nearest to Worthing that you will get any!

Hi,
Total sum: 294.40 GBP. That's tyres delivered. You then have to have them fitted, and balanced, and VAT etc.
