I have  an 89 Carat with the 14X6 alloy wheels. My old Michelin MXTs are
about the  give up the ghost: the tread is fine but there is some age
crazing in some  sections of the sidewall rubber. I was never too
confident about them  anyway.

So, now what?
Paolo, I just bought a 1990 Carat with brand new  Michelin XC LT4's on it.
P225/70R14, part #64157.  They fit just fine  and the ride up from Albany to
Almonte was smooth as silk.  These tires  should be available from any Michelin
dealer.
