Brian,

The Agilis is available in 185R14 only, I believe.  That is equivalent to
185/83R14.

A much better tire is the Michelin LTX.  My friend has them on her Syncro,
which I have driven quite a bit.  It gives great handling stiffness and
resistance to side/headwinds.  You can get the Michelin LTX in 195/75R14,
which is almost the same as 205/70R14.  If you get the 205 width, you really
should have the alloy rims, as they are 1/2 inch wider than the steel rims.

I have the Michelin MXT in 205/70R14 on VW alloys, which is a great
combination on my Syncro.  However, they are no longer available.
