I used Hankook RA 08 195R14 tires that I got from Discount Tires for one
set.  They did well so far as handling, back country tolerance, highway
driving. However, I only got about 30K miles from a rather expensive set of
tires.  Now I have Vredestein All Weather (not all season, all weather,
with the mountain snowflake emblem) to avoid summer/winter switch at $90
twice each year.  We'll see how that goes, they came highly recommended by
other list members.  The only thing I don't like about them so far is that
they are directional tires, complicating including the spare in rotation.

I prefer the extra half inch of height for the slightly better clearance on
back roads.
