I will be needing new tires prior to making my next long trip.  A Discount Tire representative gave me this list of 14 inch tires that meet the specifications for our vehicles yesterday:

185R14  -- Nankang, Hancook, Yokohama, Continental, Kumho

195R14 -- Nankang, Hancook, Kumho

The Hancooks are the ones we already know about, ditto the Continentals (Vanco).  The Kumho is the Radial 857, which I currently have and have been very happy with.  I could not find a Yokohama tire on the Yokohama web page, and have not yet looked up Nankang.  I will check with the Discount Tire rep again for more specifics a bit later, as I have time, probably a few months actually, before I buy tires, unless something exceptional comes up.  mcneely
