Michelin currently makes a 20575R14 Load Range "D" that is currently
available. I was just in to a tire dealer for them Saturday. They told
me that the tire is about 1/4 inch bigger in diameter than the now
discontinued MXT 205/70R14.

This is my next tire of choice, unless I decide that haveing the bigger
brakes is a "must have". Then there is no choice but to get the 15 inch
rims.
