No, I was just wrong.  I though that in 86, along with the 2.1 litre motor, came larger tires (205s

ps I have (perhaps incorrectly) been using Michelin LTXs for about 15 years with no issues (195 75 14s
load range C).  They replaced Continentals that came with the van when i bought it, which were like
slicks in the snow.
