Spendy, but I like the Michelin Agilles 205 / 65 R 15 C's  on them ..
bit low though.  That's what my 93 EV had on it when I got it.

I'm trying out some taller 195 R 15 's now ....( not a daily driver, still a
running project van )
but I know they won't have a fraction of the stability the Agilles offer,
but the get the thing up a bit, maybe an inch.
For sale too, fwiw.
