Tom,
I just purchased  Michelin XCA 205/75 R14 Load Range D light truck tires.  A
bit pricey at $92 each.  The dealer had to special order them from the
factory.

I have the OEM aluminum 6 inch rims requiring 205/70/14s but all the
dealers want to sell me are P205/70/14 'base tires'.  As of today, I know
michelin used to make an MS or MX 14 inch light truck tire but dont seem to
anymore.  I want a light truck tire, right?  Currently have the P series
passenger tires on the van but they sway a lot and I get worried they may
pop from extra weight.  Where to go, who do call...
