Tires-easy.com has "extra load" tires in 205/70/14.
They have a load index of 98, which I believe is adequate for our vans.
They are Chinese (Wanli/Sunny), but for $43 each, worth looking into.
I actually found some favorable reviews on the web re. this brand.

BTW, TE also sells the Hankook RA08 in 185 R14C for $67.

Subject: Not a tire thread - BUT tire input is urgently needed!

Hello again!

As some of you SURELY recall, I started a couple of tire thread 4-5 months
ago.
The most recent one was regarding the fact that TireWorks put the wrong
tires on and was working to replace them.

Of course, they haven't yet.
And the guy that I've been talking to is still "looking into it", but is
having a hard time locating them.

Just found out that he's becoming increasingly disgruntled with the company
and is apparently close to the point of walking off the job.

Bottom line:
I have a '90 GL, non-camper (Blackbeard) and I want to get the proper tires
on him BEFORE this guy walks.
He's pretty much my only chance at this point.

If you have tires on your vehicle that you are happy with and you know that
they're still made and for sale SOMEWHERE, will you pmail me URL or contact
information for where you got them?

I'm going to pass that information on to arrange the swap.

Thanks!
