I have on my 88GL Michelin XCA's 205/70/R14's Load Range "D", 8 ply (6
on the road, 2 up the sidewall) 65psi. I like the tire. performs well.
It is in Michelins Commercial Tire line, meaning you will have to ask
for it, as it IS a truck tire. It has tall, very stiff sidewalls and
improves handling significantly.
