I greatly prefer Load C rated M+S all around, kinda like the factory
specified. I pretty much hold Load D in disdain due to the handling
aspects. It is kinda moot when talking about 14" in near stock sizes
since the selection of Load C has dropped to near zero.

I buy tires in sets of 5, all matching, for practical considerations.
