Subject:Oh no, tires again
From:Walt Spak

Dear folks,

I drive a 91 GL on a daily basis and have been using 205/70-14 Michelin MXT
reinforced.  Both the Tire Rack & the local Michelin rep tell me that they
are discontinued.  No tire shop I have called can come up with a suitable
replacement.  The Tire Rack wants me to fit 185-14 reinforced to the alloy
wheels.  I think that will look dorky.  One shop suggested that I might go
with 205/70 MX4 which are not reinforced but carry a 1520 lbs load at 35
psi.  Has anyone tried these tires?  How are they for stability?  Does
anyone have any other suggestions?  I put 28,000 miles on last year and lots
of them were on the highway at high speed (well relatively high speed) with
cross winds.
