Correction on the last post, these tires are 96S tires, so not as
suitable as I thought.

Thanks to all who provided much good advice on this topic. And then
just this past weekend, I was out and about and lo and behold there
in a state park was an Orly blue Carat with winter tires on it. Turns
out they were Firestone Winterforce 215 70 14, 98S, so good to go on
our vehicles.

In the List's infinite wisdom, is it nonsense to run BFG AT;s 195 75
14 rear tires and Hankook 195R14 front tires at the same time? This
is on a 2WD van,  BFG AT's rear as snow tires. Diameter for the
Hankook is 26.3 inches revs/mile 790, the BFG is 25.5inch diameter
and 815 revs/mile. Just wondering since there don't seem to be any
snow tires available for our rigs in 14inch.
Thanks
Rick
