Volks-

Time has come (when repairs are done on Blackbeard) to replace the tires.

I've currently got 205-70-R14 Toyo 800 Ultras on there (93T Premium
Touring).
Considering going back to stock 185s, but given that I've never had anything
BUT the 205s, what can I expect as far as difference in performance?

Bigger question-
Do I even NEED 205s in a warmer climate like Vegas, especially given that
Blackbeard stays on pavement?

I'm looking at a bunch of different brands, understanding of course that I
need a minimum load class of "C" and reinforced walls .  .  .
Maybe some Hankooks?

Actually having a hard time finding 205s with a high enough load rating,
surprisinglly. . .
