I really do not like low cost tyres but The Falken Ziex shows surprisingly good test results. (And nice price)

There are quite a few on here running them who rate them pretty highly.

Falken are great tyres, for the money you can't go wrong at all, I had them in my Impreza, much better than the Bridgestones they replaced

Semperit is OK as a manufacturer but the 205/70x14 tyre is limited to 190 km/h, not allowed for R107.
Ah OK, hadn’t checked that sorry!
Do you need H rating or better (saves me checking!)

Falken or Kuhmo Ecsta are better than many more expensive brands, the Ecsta very good wet performance.
