As far as I can see TR1s don't come in a 14" option 

Did you not look at the link I posted
Look @ the sizes

Winter tyres will last ok on a buggy in summer as you are not clocking up the massive mileage some production cars do and being softer they may help with the ride quality.

Mine are PXT1R 195/55 x14 82V the ride is fine but the steering goes heavier so may use a bit more pressure this year rather than 10-12 psi

Uniroyal rainexpert are a wet grip tyre with a reputation for a softer ride but I have no experience of them.

Softer compound will reduce tyre life and increase fuel consumption as they are stickier on the road (so will low tyre pressure), but my rain tyres are so superior to the ones on there before.
The originals just locked up if the road was wet, a bit un-nerving when stopping at lights on a roundabout (so turning) in the rain. Only doing 15-20 mph and NS just locked and used 1/2 the next lane, luckily it was empty.
New tyres just work and with the mileage I do in what isnt after all the most economical car to drive I would rather not crash than have tyres that last for ever

Be very carful if you order from tyreleader. If you order the wrong size you will have to pay £25 per tyre to return them.
I know I have a pair of 205/60 15 sitting my garage I didn't double check before I comfirmed my order.
I wanted 235/60 15 but some how managed to order the wrong size. They will not reply to your emails once they have your money and have sent the tyres.
They are cheap but its a risk I won't take again https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/terms-and-conditions
