I'm running Michelin MXT 205R70/14's on my '85.  They fit the stock wheels
just fine and greatly improved the handling over the Goodyear Wrangler AT's
the PO had installed.  The load range on the MXT's is up to a Westy and they
are pretty quiet as well.

>>Since my flat, I've been driving on three Michelin XZX 185R14's and one
Continental 185R14C (drivers side rear), with no usable spare. I'm thinking
of replacing all 5 tires and looking for recommendations. I'd like to go
wider if possiible to improve handling, but I don't think I want to upgrade
the size of the rims (unless you can convince me to). Despite my Canadian
address I will NOT be driving in snow, pokey is too clean underneath, I can't
be the one to rust her out.
