By popular demand, this is what I have...

I bought these at Big O tires, here in the Phoenix area.  They are an
inexpensive brand, Max Miler, and they are made in Indonesia.  That may be a
house brand for all I know.  They are 185R14C 8ply LT radials (tall skinny
tires).  The plys are steel, polyester, and nylon.  The sidewalls are 2 ply
polyester.  It is rated max load 1875 at 65 psi.  Nothing fancy on the tread,
but here in Phoenix I don't really think about rain and snow.  I don't know
if they are noisy, because the wind whistling through the seals and the radio
are all I hear.  I would like to share how many miles you can expect from
them, but given the alignment problems I had and some parts wearing out, I
think I got 35000 or so before re'tire'ment.  I got them for $50-55 each.
The price they quoted me last time was higher, but I told them what I paid
last time and they gave it to me for that price.  I don't know if they are on
the web or anything.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
