When my last set of MXT 205/70 R14's wore out, I switched  to  Michelin
XCA 205/75 R14's. The tire is a tiny bit larger in diameter than the
MXT's but is a "D" rated tire and is an actual  8 ply tire, not a 6 ply
rated 8 ply. My Michelin dealer first told me the tire was not
available, but then found it listed under their commercial tire line.
The tread is not as aggressive as the MXT, but it does serve well.  The
sidewalls are tall and stiff, and because of such my vanagon  is very
stable and tracks as on rails.
