Subject:Tires again.

Sorry to revisit a hackneyed topic, but I need some help. My engine rebuild
is almost complete, I am hitting the road in less than a month and I need new
tires. Based on all of the archives I have looked through and my mechanics
advice, I have settled on either the Yokohama 370's or Michelin MXT. Well, I
can't find either of them anywhere. Tire rack says they have a Michelin MX
with a reinforced sidewall that will fit the bill. Is this the same as the
MXT? If not, does anyone have any experience with this tire? I am planning on
getting a 185/70/14. My mechanic suggested this size to help with sidewind
movement. I am also putting on new KYB shocks for this purpose. The PO had
some bargain basement passenger tire and shock on there and it handles like a
sail boat. Thanks for any help.
