185R14's are made: Agilis has them, 205's are per other listees available in 205, LTX are not available in 205. Your choices in Michelin are: 205/70/14 (MTX), 195/75/14 (LTX), 185R14 (Agilis 61) --- though I guess you could also get MTX in 195/75/14 -- I'm just going by what I've read, and I haven't read everything... These wheels will all fit the alloys unless you're getting 15 inch alloys... >From: Jeffrey R <Oxroad@AOL.COM> > >All this talk of tires.
