I run the stock 14" steel rims. Cannot afford the price of the upgrade for the moment. Because of the tracking issue and the sidewall strength issue related to tracking, I am using Michelin XCA 205-75R14's. rated Load Range D, 65 PSI. This is an actual 8 ply tire, not a 6 ply rated 8 ply. It is a true truck tire, and those side walls stand straight and tall. I like the way it handles crosswinds. Not nearly as squirrelly as my old Michelin MXT's, and I thought they were terrific when I upgraded from passenger tires after buying the vehicle. What a difference to go from passenger tires to the MXT's. What a difference to go up again from MXT's to the XCA's. Regards, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver Denis-F.

Will a larger diameter 15 inches tire hanble the same as a smaller diameter tire on 14 inches ? > >Thanks > >Denis > > >
